NV Laurent-Perrier "La Cuvée Rosé", Champagne, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
Introduced in 1968, Laurent-Perrier's Cuvée Rosé revolutionized rosé Champagne production by utilizing the maceration (saignée) method, allowing the Pinot Noir grapes to impart their color and flavor naturally. This meticulous process involves a 48 to 72-hour maceration period, resulting in a wine that authentically expresses the character of the grape and terroir. The Champagne presents a bouquet of freshly picked red berries, including strawberries, raspberries, and cherries, complemented by floral hints and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is lively and well-rounded, with a forthright, slightly sharp attack that evolves into a symphony of berry fruits, culminating in a gently-rounded, tender finish.
