We were able to get a bit more of this one after previously selling out, and we also retasted it over the weekend and can confirm it's the best $39.99 Champagne on the market by far, drinking as well as many Champagnes at twice the price! There is a lovely balance of fruit, acidity, and dosage: lovely depth and power, and a whiplash of a finish. Drinkable now, it should improve over the next few years, no problem. A killer Rosé Champagne!

Our orginal offer:

The Vieille Rose is a fantastic bottle of rosé that many of our clients have enjoyed and requested more of, and the wait is finally over! This Rose rivals bottles twice the price and is a stunning bottle of bubbles at this price point. Vieille France is an older Champagne house dating back to the early 19th century and boasts the second-largest vineyard holdings in Champagne, next to Louis Roederer. These Champagnes are being reintroduced to the US market after years without importation, and because this is a debut, quality was held to a very high standard. The NV Vieille France Champagne Brut Rosé is crafted from a blend of 55% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 15% Coteaux Champenois Rouge with a dosage of about 6 grams, which is perfect here. Pale salmon-pink with fine bubbles, the Brut Rosé offers bright red berry aromas, citrus zest, subtle brioche notes, and a touch of ocean spray. The palate is crisp and balanced, with lively acidity, red fruit flavors, and a delicate minerality. This has a wonderful silky texture on the palate with some impressive weight in the middle and finishes so precisely and elegantly with a combination of red fruits, dry extracts, and some salinity. This leaves your mouth watering for more and is one of the most impressive and balanced Rosé Champagnes we have ever tasted at this price point. At no price increase over last year, this is simply one of the best buys for Rose champagne right now!
