Mignon/Christophe Brut Rosé Champagne ADN de Meunier NV

94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): “[$68 list] The NV Brut Rosé ADN de Meunier is a blend of equal parts 2016 and 2015, done in an assemblage style, which means a touch Meunier vinified as still red wine is added to a core of Meunier vinified off the skins. Mignon’s Rosé is bright and beautifully lifted, with lovely aromatic presence and impeccable balance. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, the Rosé has plenty of depth as well as structure. More importantly, it is flat out delicious. Give the Rosé a good bit of air, as it really only blossoms with quite a bit of aeration. The current release is a blend of equal parts 2016 and 2015. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. Disgorged: August 29, 2019. Drink: 2020-2028. (Nov 2020)”

93 points James Suckling: ” An impressively complex and elegant Champagne for pure pinot meunier with tons of candied berries and orange with a touch of ripe red apple. So much crisp and crunchy fruit character on the generous and clean palate. Very straight finish. 100% pinot meunier from the Vallée de la Marne and a blend of 50% 2015 and 50% 2016. Drink now.
