NV Jose Dhondt Rose de Saignee

Pro Reviews

Wine Spectactor (WS)

Balanced and mouthwatering, this expressive version layers flavors of baked raspberry and cherry fruit with smoke, dried thyme, candied kumquat and anise, all set on the lively mousse. A distinctive style. Disgorged April 2018. 250 cases made, 50 cases imported. -AN

Wine Advocate (WA)

The NV Brut Rose de Saignee is easily one of the most compelling wines I tasted this year. It boasts extraordinary depth and richness in its many layers of fruit. Pomegranate, freshly cut roses and mint are some of the nuances that add complexity, but this is really about fruit and structure, both of which the wine has in spades. Dhont’s Rose is a big, vinous wine meant for the dinner table. I loved it. -Antonio Galloni

Vinous Media (VM)

Dhondt’s NV Rosé de Saignee is a true reference point for the style. Rich, vinous and impeccably layered in the glass, the Rosé boasts stunning depth and richness, with intense bold flavors and impeccable balance. Autumn leaves, sweet red cherries, mint, tobacco and spices are all laced together beautifully in the glass. This is Pinot from Champagne at its best. -Antonio Galloni
