Louis Roederer Rosé Brut Champagne (750ml)

Intense and fresh, this Rosé Vintage exudes small, acidic and finely crunchy red fruits. There is flesh and fullness, an expression that is always tactile and greedy. Great freshness, balance and lightness are its attributes, projected in a beautiful satin envelope and a saline perception.
A snapshot of a year, this Rosé comes from 35 small staggered plots on the warm terroirs of Louis Roederer's “La Rivière” estate planted with Pinot noir, and the cooler limestone soils where the Chardonnay thrives. Born mostly from their vines in Cumières, this Rosé benefits from a long and soft infusion of the Pinot noir that allows the extraction of the juice and ripeness all the while preserving this great saline freshness.

A deep and fruity rosé that encapsulates the exceptional ripeness and intensity of a dry, bright continental summer!

- Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Cellar Master

Appearance:
Salmon pink hue with bright red tints. Deep, intense colour. The bubbles are fine yet vibrant and energetic.

Nose:
The summery bouquet shows exceptional intensity and freshness with its aromas of ripe, juicy stone fruit (wild peach) complemented by zesty red fruit (redcurrant) and citrus notes (blood orange). Upon aeration, the nose develops more jammy notes of Roussillon red apricot.

Palate:
The palate is soft, juicy and concentrated on entry and then quickly shows a chalky, saline freshness that structures the wine and lends it a voluptuous yet delicate mouthfeel. The juicy, ripe fruit (nectarine and wild peach) and citrus (lemon) give the wine a fresh, zesty character that is underpinned by a subtle hint of bitterness. The soft, delicate bubbles coat the palate and impart a velvety texture. The end palate is mouth-watering and ever so slightly salty with discreet tannins and a lovely subtle bitterness that complements the incredible dry chalkiness of the wine and lingers on the seemingly never-ending finish.
