Cuvée Rosé was created in 1968 from the boldness and unique savoir-faire of Laurent-Perrier. Perfected at each stage of its making , Cuvée Rosé is acknowledged for its consistency and its high quality. It is characterized by its ripe red fruit aromas , high intensity and great freshness
Maceration , Vinification and Blending Grape varietal: Pinot Noir 100% Crus: 10 different Crus located mainly in the South and North areas of the Montagne de Reims – including the finest Crus from the famous Côte de Bouzy – Ambonnay , Bouzy , Louvois and Tours-sur-Marne. The grapes from carefully selected plots are sorted and destemmed before vatting. The maceration – lasting from 48 to 72 hours depending on the harvest – helps the extraction of the colour and allows us to obtain unequalled aromas , revealing all the richness of the best Crus of Pinot Noir. Ageing: an ideal minimum of 5 years.
Sensory Characteristics: Elegant , with colour changing naturally from a pretty raspberry hue to salmon pink. A precise nose of extraordinary freshness and a wide range of red fruits: raspberry , redcurrant , strawberry and black cherry. A fresh and sharp attack for this supple and rounded wine. On the palate , it offers the sensation of plunging into a basket of freshly picked red berries. Best served between 8°C and 10°C.
Wine/Food pairings: Its aromatic depth makes it ideal for pairing with marinated raw fish , grilled prawns , exotic dishes , Parma ham and red fruit desserts. Those who are more daring will try it with Asian or Indian cuisine
