Winery notes (NV)
"This exceptional Rosé is made from 100% Pinot Noir and celebrates the superb climate of Marlborough. A fresh, youthful and precise bouquet, delicate salmon-pink with a mass of tiny bubbles. Aromas of flowers, cherry and strawberries. Dry and elegant with a fine and silky mousse."
5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, November 2025 (NV)
"This is immediately enticing on the nose, with Gala apple, watermelon, nectarine, and lemon zest aromas, and a gorgeous yeasty undertone. The palate is equally appealing with excellent focus and delicate texture, brilliantly structured by beautifully infused acidity, finishing superbly long and satisfying."
95/100 Emma Jenkins MW, Decanter, May 2024 (NV)
"Marlborough’s No1 Family Estate draws upon founder Daniel LeBrun’s decades (and his Champenois family’s centuries) of experience, specialising in sparkling wine. Made from 86% Pinot Noir and 14% Chardonnay with around two years on lees, this is a sophisticated fizz with red cherry, wild strawberry, acacia flower and brioche notes. Rich and textural with a long savoury finish, it’s lovely on its own and has enough substance to match well with food – try with fresh salmon."
Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2025 (NV)
"Hues of rose and pink lead to a bouquet and palate of finesse and charm, floral highlight of forest rose then a core of autolysis, cherry and old strawberry fruits. The autolysis also suggests an oatmeal and brioche quality. A rush of mousse as the wine touches the palate bring with it flavours of baked goods and red berries. A dry wine with a crisp backbone of acidity with soft red berry fruits contrast. Well made, delicious and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2029. A wine that could easily become your daily medicine."
94/100 David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, November 2025 (NV)
"Made from Pinot Noir in a Brut style of Rosé Méthode Traditionnelle. A pale salmon/coral pink colour. The fizz leaps from the glass with tight, concentrated mousse of bubbles. Cherry, strawberry, greengage, cranberry, hibiscus and red liquorice flavours mingle with a touch of brioche and almond in the bouquet. It has the family signature seen in the Blanc de Blancs, with a medium weight, silky texture and brisk, mouth-watering acidity. The dry finish has superb persistence."
5 Stars & 18.5+/20 (94) Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, October 2023 (NV)
"Bright, even, pale rose gold with depth. Very persistent and fine bead. The nose is full, with aromas of maraschino cherry, strawberry, flowers, and savoury, yeasty autolysis. Medium-full bodied, aromas of maraschino cherry and strawberry entwined with floral fragrances, a chalky palate unfolds almond croissant and subtle black pepper. The mouthfeel is smooth with a chalky line of phenolics; tangy acidity flows smoothly to a juicy, enticing finish. This Rosé Methode Traditionelle is elegant and harmonious with integrated red fruit and toasty autolysis complexity and features a chalky palate and silky mousse. Match with salmon gravlax and beef carpaccio over the next 3-5 years. 100% Pinot Noir, 12.% alc, 8.5g/l RS. 2+ years on lees."
