Wine Advocate: 94 Points

To produce the 2015 Brut Nature Rosé Lécaillon and his team picked the ripest Pinot Noir in Roederer's holdings in lieu-dit Les Chèvres a week before the rest of their fruit there macerating it at low temperature for four to five days before adding some 20% of this Pinot Noir to the same base that produces the regular Brut Nature. Delivering aromas of peach clear honey freshly baked bread and almond paste it's medium to full-bodied ample and fleshy with a rich vinous profile racy acids and a long chalky finish. This has always been a structured wine but in 2015 that structure is cloaked in more flesh and texture.

Wine Spectator: 94 Points

A fresh mineral-driven Champagne this swathes a firm frame of acidity in a raw silklike texture and finely meshed flavors of crunchy pear mandarin orange peel salted almond dried raspberry and pickled ginger. Chardonnay Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Best from 2023 through 2033

James Suckling: 93 Points

Crisp, tangy and focused, with aromas of raspberries, biscuits, watermelon, seashells, lemons and pink grapefruit. Sharp acidity with very fine bubbles. Field blend from a single plot in Cumieres. 80% field blend of chardonnay, pinot meunier, pinot noir, pinot blanc, arbanne and petit meslier, with 20% of cold-soaked pinot noir. Mineral and bone dry. Dosage 0g/L. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.
