Frederic Savart Bulle de Rosé Premier Cru deg. 2017

James Suckling: A pale and exciting rosé champagne that has hints of ginseng and seaweed to the citrus and red-berry fruit. Savory, even lightly earthy, with delicate bubbles and a spicy, dry finish. 65% pinot noir (of which 5% red wine) and 35% chardonnay. 3.5g/L dosage. 93/100

Decanter: Another citrus-forward Champagne here, playing its rosé cards close to its chest and leaning more into white territory. A soft fruity palate follows aromas of grapefruit and orange rind, switching gear as the mousse expands into an almost savoury, nut and dried herb finish. It maintains a taut structure and impresses with its elegance. 92/100
