The latest rendition of Ruinart’s NV Brut Rosé evokes aromas of blood orange, red berries, flowers and pastry. Medium to full-bodied, round and supple, it’s elegant with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and a long, delicate finish. There’s no reason to wait.

Ruinart's non-vintage rosé is always appealingly tuned to the slightly deeper side of Champagne's rosé spectrum, although it retains plenty of the snappy, Chardonnay-heavy DNA of the house, too. The sunny 2020 base year is full of sharp and sweet red plum, strawberry and tangerine, youthful and easy but admirably lithe. With peppery spice and rose petal complexity, it's a rosé that celebrates Pinot Noir juiciness yet transcends simplicity.

Full bottle 1,641 g. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Raspberries and white pepper. Quite sweet – there is something that evokes a long-distant memory of strawberry jelly babies. Pretty fruit and a good, broad swathe of ripe acidity, but lacks the complexity and stature I'd expect of a champagne in this price bracket. It might taste better with a slice of strawberry tart?
