Prior to 1968, making non-vintage rosé champagne was virtually unthinkable and it was in the midst of a cultural revolution that the visionary Bernard de Nonancourt gave it its credentials.
This Laurent Perrier is one of the few rosé champagnes to be made using the maceration technique, which gives it the extraordinary depth and freshness.
Revered by wine-lovers for its flavours and by aesthetes for the beauty of its 17th century-style bottle, the Cuvée Rosé Brut is one of the stars in the Laurent-Perrier champagne range.
Meticulous selection of the grape and controlled maceration help extract the colour and aromatic richness of the pinot noir grapes.
Unlike most rosé champagnes, the Laurent-Perrier Champagne Rosé is obtained by drawing the juice from black grapes in the vat, not solely blending red and white wines. It is cellared for at least four years.
Serve at around 8°C and 10°C.
Colour: Varies between a pretty raspberry to a salmon-pink,
Nose: Precise and crisp with a wide range of small red fruits - strawberries, redcurrants and raspberries. An amazing freshness dominates.
Palate: Intense fruity flavours, those from the nose continuing. Clean, well defined and slightly sharp. The wine then opens up to provide more fruit, freshly picked red berries, cherries, strawberries, blackcurrants and raspberries.
Finish: Supple and round.
