The Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier was created in 1968 using bold, innovative ‘savoir-faire’ methods learnt 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. Prior to 1968, making non-vintage rosé champagne was virtually unthinkable. It was in the midst of a cultural revolution that the visionary Bernard de Nonancourt gave it its credentials. This daring wine combines real structure with freshness and a soft, vinous character. 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.

Grapes from carefully selected plots are then meticulously sorted and destemmed before going into the vats. Controlled maceration – lasting from 48h to 72h depending on the harvest – helps the extraction of colour and the development of the full aromatic richness of the Pinot Noir.

Full, straw-yellow in colour with a pale rim and fine, persistent bubble, this has a very refined, tight and very fresh bouquet of citrus fruits and white florals, backed by very subtle bready autolysis notes. The autolysis is quite ethereal, and is very delicate and lacy. Dry to taste on attack, the palate is fine, subtle and has a steeliness and minerally aspect. Light bready, yeasty flavours are interwoven with stonefruits and apples, and the textures dancing and refined. The dosage appears on the finish and brisk acidity softens to reveal some richness.

Powerful and attractive nose, it first delivers aromas of fruit (pear, mango) and then releases light flavours of honeysuckle and white jasmine, lingering on vanilla and brioche notes. Behind a frank and dynamic attack, the wine encompasses a nice harmony and a pleasant freshness, whilst preserving some structure. On the palate, flavours of cooked fruit (quince jelly, apricot jam) happily mingle with fragrances of beeswax and acacia honey. The long-lasting aromas, composed of both fruity (candied orange peel, tangerine) and spicy notes (cardamom, anis) is outstanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe Brut Reserve is a blend in equal parts of the three champenois grape varieties from 30 different crus. 25% reserve wines are used to produce this cuvée.
