Wine Spectator 90 points - Fresh and creamy in texture, this offers a lightly smoky overtone to the flavors of strawberry tart, pastry cream, grated coconut and ground spice. Drink now through 2018. -AN.December/2014

Wine Enthusiast 90 points - This is a beautiful, full rose that is rich and shows a fine balance between acidity and fruitiness. This bottling is also mature with toastiness coming through, giving a softer, rounder character. There is weight, and great acidity on the finish..Roger Voss, December/2013

Wine & Spirits 90 points - This wine tastes fruitier than Yellow Label, with raspberry and grape flavors giving a sense of sweetness to the blend. There’s enough spicy acidity to keep it balanced and focused through a flinty, smoky finish..December/2018

James Suckling 92 points - Aromas of crabapple, orange peel and dried strawberries. Full-bodied, layered and very flavorful, yet there’s a creamy texture and a bright and vivid finish. Shows energy. VCP does excellent rose. Drink now..September/2018

The base blend is identical to Brut Yellow Label, with an addition of 12% of red wine from vineyards in the Montagne de Reims. A luminous color with attractive pink glints, an elegant nose with initial aromas of fresh red fruit leading to brioche notes
