Ruinart Rose Champagne

Annika Svensson — Dinner party showstopper

9/10

Brought this to a friend's dinner party and everyone wanted to know what it was. Really expressive on the nose, you get those red fruits straight away with a hint of something bready underneath. Went down a treat with the salmon starter too.

Elena Morozova — Good but I expected more

7/10

Maybe my expectations were too high given the price tag. It's pleasant enough with nice berry flavours and a clean finish, but at 12.5% and nearly a hundred quid I wanted to be blown away. It's good, just not sure it's THAT good.

Kenji Watanabe — Converted me to rosé champagne

9/10

I always thought rosé champagne was a bit of a gimmick until I tried this. There's proper complexity here — red berries, a bit of citrus peel, and this mineral quality on the finish that I really liked. Now I get what all the fuss is about.
