It’s one of the most widely poured rosé Champagnes anywhere, known as “a traditional but exciting style of dry rosé, designed for dinner,” and one of the easiest to recommend: bright, generous, and approachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe blend is Pinot Noir (40 to 50%), Pinot Meunier (30 to 40%), and Chardonnay (10 to 20%), with about 10% red Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier wine added for color and red-fruit depth, plus 20 to 30% reserve wines. It spends about 21 months on its lees, and the dosage is 9 g\/L (one retailer cites 7 g\/L), which leaves it “very gently off-dry.” It’s 12% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe house describes it as “a pink color with amber highlights. On the palate, the wine shows a juicy intensity of berries (strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant) rounded out by the fleshiness and firmness of peach and the freshness of a subtle note of mint.” Decanter’s Yohan Castaing scored it 90: “Rosé Impérial has a spontaneous bouquet of red berries, rose petal, white pepper, and touches of lemon. Fleshy and juicy, the texture is perfectly balanced, moderately weighted, and clear. Finishes long and minty.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCritics have rated it consistently at 88 to 91. James Suckling scored it 91: “Salmon-orange color with aromas of raspberries, strawberries, pomegranates and pink grapefruit. Bright and fruity with creamy bubbles. Lively. Very gently off-dry.” Wine Spectator’s Alison Napjus has scored it 90 to 91: “Fresh and balanced, with a pretty range of wild strawberry, orange blossom, whole-grain toast and ground ginger flavors riding the silky mousse,” and in another release, “a fresh, minerally rosé, with a burst of pink grapefruit peel–infused acidity driving flavors of white cherry, raspberry, salted almond and lemon thyme as they ride the lively, lacy mousse.” Wine \u0026amp; Spirits scored it 91 (“an impressive release of Imperial,” a Best Buy), noting “oceanic, oyster-shell notes” from the reserve wines, Vinous’s Antonio Galloni scored it 90, Wine Enthusiast 90 (“hints of red fruits going along with lemon freshness. There is a fine tangy character that gives the wine a crisp aftertaste”), Decanter has scored it 89 to 91, and the Wine Advocate 88. (Scores vary by release and are for the non-vintage blend.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt’s a crowd-pleasing, fruity, slightly off-dry rosé Champagne, perfect for celebrations, brunch, bridal showers, and gifts, and a bottle that guests recognize on sight.
