André Clouet Brut Grande Réserve Champagne: This has a very engaging nose that offers effortless suggestions of citrus fruit, baked apple, minerality and toast with a lifted floral note. The palate is medium bodied with a very good mousse and a refreshing, tangy acidity. Very fruity in the mouth with more citrus, apple, mineral and toast notes. This will pair nicely with breaded calamari or smoked turkey breast. (VINTAGES panel, Nov. 2010)

Billecart-salmon Brut Rosé Champagne: Though not from the same lot as referenced by Antonio Galloni, Billecart-Salmon's house style will ensure that the taste profile of this bottling will be consistent with his notes.

Year in, year out, this estate's NV Brut Rose is one of the most consistently outstanding wines in the region. This is Lot 337014 -3671A. Disgorged June 30, 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015.

Bollinger Brut Rosé Champagne: Though not from the same lot as referenced by Antonio Galloni, Bollinger's house style will ensure that the taste profile of this bottling will be consistent with his notes. TASTING NOTE: The NV Brut Rose is a gorgeous wine laced with berries, flowers and chalk, all of which are woven together in a fabric of unusual class. The NV naturally doesn't have the weight and gravitas of the 2002 Rose La Grande Annee tasted alongside it, but it nevertheless shows striking purity and class in a more accessible, fresh style. It is another terrific effort from Bollinger. The NV Brut Rose is 62% Pinot Noir (of which 6% is still Pinot), 24% Chardonnay and 14% Pinot Meunier. This is Lot L819801. Disgorged May 30, 2008. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2015. Score: 91 (Antonio Galloni, erobertparker.com, Dec. 2010)
