Nicolas Feuillatte Réserve Exclusive Brut Rosé Champagne

Like a basket of fresh-picked strawberries on the nose, subtly mixing on the palate with notes of ripe plum, violet, spice and graphite. Shows fine harmony, with a long, smoke-tinged finish. Drink now through 2016. Score – 91. (Alison Napjus, winespectator.com, Dec. 31, 2011)
