Tasting notes
A bright medium pink color, the 2015 Champagne 1er Cru Rose Emotion Brut Rose is 12% vin rouge with 8 grams per liter dosage. The nose is sunny and pretty with aromas of wild mixed berries, tangerine, biscotti, and powder. Medium to full-bodied, it has a more savory and pithy structure all the way through, although it’s well-managed, and it has a frothy mousse and a clean finish. A delicate saline note complements the wine, but it’s going to demand pairing and aging. Drink 2026-2040.

Now with an additional year in bottle, the 2015 Brut Rosé Emotion has moved into its more nuanced, ethereal stage. Cranberry, mint, spice and white pepper open with some coaxing, taking the place of the more fruit-driven notes that were present last year. There's good depth, but today I find the 2015 a touch closed. As always, the Emotion is a Champagne of understatement that often has a real feeling of elusiveness. Dosage is 8 grams per liter. Disgorged: February 2022.
The 2015 Brut Rosé Emotion is gorgeous. The Emotion is done in an airy, understated style that is more finesse than power. Crushed red berry fruit, cranberry, white flowers and mint all grace this sculpted, wonderfully energetic Rosé from Vilmart. Dosage is 9 grams per liter.
