A blend of 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Chardonnay, the NV Brut Rosé Authentique is the best wine in this range, once again. Ample and resonant, with terrific persistence, the Authentique is immediately captivating. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, blood orange, pomegranate and dried rose petals infuse this cuvée with tons of character. I loved it. Dosage is 6 grams per liter.

The new release of Authentique non-vintage Brut Rosé from Philippe Secondé is from the base year of 2021 and was disgorged in March of 2023... The wine is a beautifully deep salmon color and offers up a deep and complex bouquet of cherries, pomegranate, rye bread, chalky soil tones, a touch of sumac and a topnote of rose petals. On the palate the wine is bright, focused and full-bodied, with a gorgeous core of fruit, fine soil signature, elegant mousse and a long, complex and impeccably balanced finish. This is a more vinous style of Rosé made to drink throughout the meal, but it is lighter on its feet and more elegant than many other examples of vinous Rosé.
