Aubry Brut Nature Rosé Champagne Sablé 2015

Not yet reviewed; 2014 vintage rated 93 points by William Kelley (Wine Advocate): “Revisited from the October 2018 disgorgement, Aubry’s 2014 Brut Nature Rosé Sablé Premier Cru continues to show well, wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of oatmeal, fresh peach, woodsmoke, orange oil and dried linden blossom. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, vinous and crisply textural, with racy acids, a delicate low-pressure mousse and a long, penetrating finish. While I found the 2013 rendition—reviewed in 2019—a little austere, the more generous 2014 vintage is more naturally giving and inviting in the wine’s chiseled, bone-dry register. A saignée of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier gives the wine its color and amounts to some 30% of the unusual blend, complemented by fully 20% Arbanne and 25% Petit Meslier, the balance coming from Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay. Drink: 2019-2026.”
