The NV Ployez-Jacquemart Extra Brut Rosé is a lovely, vineyard-driven Champagne that drinks well above its price point, and the rare 375ml half-bottle format makes it an especially compelling buy. Ployez-Jacquemart is a small, family-run house based in Ludes in the Montagne de Reims, with holdings across several excellent Premier Cru and Grand Cru villages, and its wines have always emphasized vineyard character, freshness, and restraint over a more polished house style. This Rosé fits that philosophy perfectly, combining bright red-berry fruit with citrus, chalky minerality, subtle spice, and a dry, energetic finish that feels considerably more serious than its price suggests. The Extra Brut dosage keeps everything focused and precise, while the wine still has enough texture and vinosity to work beautifully at the table, not just as an aperitif. John Gilman has tasted every base vintage of this cuvée and consistently scored it between 92 and 94 points, a remarkable level of consistency for a non-vintage Rosé and a strong indicator of how dependable this wine is year after year. Half bottles of serious grower Champagne are increasingly uncommon, and this is one perfect for those looking for just a few glasses of bubbles.
