Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé is considered to be one of the best Rose Champagnes in the market.
Laurent Perrier Champagne History
Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé was first released in 1968. Thanks to its consistently high quality and memorable bottle, Cuvée Rosé has become the most recognized rosé Champagne worldwide and is the benchmark of its category.
The Rosé Blend
100% Pinot Noir from 10 different crus situated mainly in Montagne de Reims, including the grand crus of Ambonnay, Bouzy, Louvois and Tours-sur-Marne.
Vinification and Aging
Cuvée Rosé is made in a winery dedicated solely to its production. Grapes from carefully selected plots arrive at the winery and are meticulously sorted and destemmed before going into vats. Our proprietary maceration process is used which allows for skin contact typically for 48 to 72 hours. During that time, the wine obtains its color and develops the full aromatic richness of Pinot Noir. After the base wines are blended and bottled, Cuvée Rosé ages in the cellars for at least five years (six years for magnums). At disgorging, it receives a light dosage of 9 grams of sugar per liter, classifying it as a Brut Champagne
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Intense salmon-pink. Aroma: Fresh strawberries, red currants, raspberries and black cherries are prevalent on the nose. TAsTe: Bright berry flavors, round on the palate, well-balanced acidity. The long finish is very dry.
Serving and Pairing
Serve between 46°F and 50°F Cuvée Rosé is delicious as an aperitif, but it is extremely versatile for food pairings. Salmon, prawns, duck, and foie gras are excellent matches, as are Thai and Vietnamese dishes. In addition, Cuvée Rosé pairs well with creamy cheeses such as Chaource or Brie.
