92+ JG "This was my first taste of David LĂ©clapartâs RosĂ© bottling, which he makes via the saignĂ©e method . . . . this is his only bottling in which he uses his pinot noir, which comprises ten percent of his three hectares of vines in the village of TrĂ©pail and makes up the entirety of this blend. The wine spends anywhere from one to three days macerating, with the grapes trod by foot three or four times a day during this period and then fermented entirely in old Burgundy casks. The 2009 version received a dosage of two grams per liter and offers up a lovely, vibrant nose of blood orange, rhubarb, stony minerality, rose petals, smoke and rye toast. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, crisp and complex, with a rock solid core, frothy mousse, lovely focus and grip and excellent mineral drive on the long and perfectly balanced finish. This is a lovely bottle of RosĂ© Champagne that is emphatically built to accompany food." 92+ JG "This was my first taste of David LĂ©clapartâs RosĂ© bottling, which he makes via the saignĂ©e method.
