History of the Champagne

The Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier was created in 1968 using bold, innovative ‘savoir-faire’ methods learned from production of still wines called ‘Coteaux Champenois.’ Perfected at each stage of its making, the Cuvée Rosé is now the benchmark in its category. Held in an elegant wine bottle inspired by King Henri IV, this rosé champagne has been widely acknowledged for its consistent high quality for more than 40 years.

Tasting Notes Appearance

Elegant, with color changing naturally from a pretty raspberry hint to salmon-pink.

Nose

Precise and very crisp. Wide range of small red fruits: strawberries, red currants, raspberries and black cherries. Its amazing freshness is the dominating note.

Taste

Intensely fruity flavors, clean, well-defined and slightly sharp, the wine then opens up to provide an impression of plunging into a basket of freshly picked red berries: strawberries, Morello cherries, black currants and raspberries. The wine is supple and rounded on the finish.

Serving

Serve at around 8°C and 10°C.

The Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier is a delicious apéritif. This cuvée, thanks to its aromatic character, allows various food and wine pairings. It matches well with raw fishes (marinated red mullets and tartare of tuna), grilled prawns, fine charcuterie (such as Italian prosciutto), duck, lamb and creamy cheeses such as Chaource. The Cuvée Rosé is also an extraordinary match for red fruit desserts. The more daring will try it with Asian — even Indian — cuisine.

Blend Grape Varieties

100% Pinot Noir.

Vineyards

Blended from 10 different ‘crus’ (or villages) situated mainly in the South and North areas of the Montagne de Reims — including the famous Côte de Bouzy – notably from the finest crus of Ambonnay, Bouzy, Louvois and Tours-sur-Marne.

Laurent-Perrier’s technical facilities are dedicated to the making of the Cuvée Rosé. Grapes from carefully selected plots are then meticulously sorted and destemmed before going into the vats. Controlled maceration — lasting from 48 to 72 hours depending on the harvest — helps the extraction of color and the development of the full aromatic richness of the Pinot Noir. It is aged in the cellars for at least four years.
