Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Coulon’s salmon-onion colored NV Rosé de Saignée Rosélie (disgorged in November 2017) is pure Pinot Meunier and offers a very clear, aromatic bouquet of perfectly ripe red fruits. Round and intense on the palate, this is an elegant, wide and generous yet dry and piquant rosé with a clear, fresh and salty finish. Pretty complex and fine, with a long, well-structured finish, this should be great with smoked salmon or red fruit desserts that are not too sweet. Tasted April 2018. (Entirely based on one vintage, here 2014 or 2015, he doesn’t remember.)
