Average Critic Score: 90.0/100 based on 3 critic reviews
Pommery's Cuvee Louise is the house's prestige cuvee, and the Rose is its most delicate expression, pale in colour and built on finesse rather than weight. The 2000 Pommery Cuvee Louise Rose is drawn from grand cru vineyards and now carries more than two decades of age, bringing toasty, leesy depth to its red-berry and blood-orange fruit. It earned 91 points from Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate), 91 points from Josh Raynolds (Vinous) and 88 points from Wine Spectator. A graceful, mineral-driven mature rose from one of the great Reims houses.
Lively strawberry, blood orange and mineral aromas are underscored by a toasty, gently leesy quality. Gains a floral component with air and offers gently sweet red berry and orchard fruit flavors... Spreads out on the finish, which echoes the blood orange note and lingers with good, dusty, mineral-driven persistence - Josh Raynolds, Vinous (91 pts)
A mature rose Champagne to serve with a meal rather than as an aperitif.
Critic Reviews
91 Points - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate
“The 2000 Brut Rose Cuvee Louise is a delicate, pale-colored wine that reveals gorgeous inner sweetness in its perfumed fruit. This, too, is a deceptively medium-bodied offering but the wine offers terrific complexity as notes of smoke, minerals and candied red fruits follow through on the long finish. The style remains taut and focused, but the wine should soften as it ages in bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2015.”
91 Points - Josh Raynolds, Vinous
“Light pink with an orange hue. Lively strawberry, blood orange and mineral aromas are underscored by a toasty, gently leesy quality. Gains a floral component with air and offers gently sweet red berry and orchard fruit flavors and a hint of bitter citrus zest. Spreads out on the finish, which echoes the blood orange note and lingers with good, dusty, mineral-driven persistence. (I also retasted the 1999 Grand Cru Brut and found a creamy, floral character on display, with the mineral elements starting to recede. It is still youthful but can be enjoyed now.)”
88 Points - Wine Spectator
“Good grip supports the light toast, spice and dried berry flavors. Dry and firm on the finish, this could use a little more intensity. Drink now through 2016. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 20 cases imported.”
