Tasting profile
A salmon-pink, 100% Pinot Noir grower rosé with fine persistent bead, showing red berries (raspberry, cassis, strawberry), pink grapefruit, florals and a savoury, lightly oxidative edge of walnut and cream. Dry and chalky with mouth-puckering acidity, real depth and a long, mineral, gastronomic finish that drinks almost like a red with bubbles.
Synthesized from 23Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.

Summary
Francis Boulard Les Rachais Extra Brut Rosé Champagne is a sparkling wine from Champagne, France.
Only 23 of its Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 23 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside holds 2,766 French sparkling wines.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Francis Boulard Les Rachais Extra Brut Rosé Champagne lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Sparkling · France (2,766 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 23.
