Cuvée Alexandra Rosé is the ultimate expression of Laurent Perrier. Only releasing in exceptional years, the 2004 is just the 7th release of this outstanding limited Champagne. Disgorged in 2012 this has developed wonderful complexity over time with delicious layers of tangerine, blood orange and red berries. Drink alongside scallops with black truffle.

Tasted from magnum, the 2004 Grande Cuvée Rosé Alexandra, Laurent-Perrier’s flagship Rosé is a blend of 80% Pinot Noir (on the skins) and 20% Chardonnay vinified together that has only been bottled seven times since 1982. From the very first taste, the 2004 is utterly spectacular. Rich, ample and vertical in feel, the 2004 is dazzling. Dried rose petal, star anise, tobacco, dried flowers, red berry fruit and earthy notes all grace this utterly exquisite Champagne. As good as the 2004 is today – and it is fabulous – it will be even better in another few years’ time. The 2004 has been nothing short of magnificent on both occasions I have tasted it so far.

Made only in exceptional years when their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir ripens simultaneously, because the wine is made by macerating the red and white grapes together. 20% Chardonnay, 80% Pinot Noir. RS 6 g/l. 10 years on lees. Disgorged in the third quarter of 2015. (If you want to know when LP disgorge their wines, check the code on the cork. there will be a letter and a number. The letters A, B, C, or D stand for first, second, third and fourth quarter of the year. The number is the year, transposed. So C51 = third quarter, 2015.)Distinct orange/onion-skin tinge. Damson, quince-paste nose. Earthiness. Sharply stitched mousse. Tastes very very dry! Minerals and ripe heirloom tomatoes, a sweet green dustiness. Caraway and wild strawberries. Distinctive.Definitely a food wine and not an aperitif. (TC)

Elegant Blanc and Rosé

The Laurent-Perrier portfolio is built around three distinct expressions of its unique savoir-faire. The first is the art of assemblage of reserve wines, exemplified by Grand Siècle - a prestige cuvée crafted from three exceptional years to recreate the perfect year. The second is the mastery of maceration, an innovative winemaking technique that led to the creation of Cuvée Rosé in 1968. Finally, the House pioneered the non-dosage (zero dosage) style with the launch of Ultra Brut in 1981, a visionary approach that continues today with Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature.
