Laurent Perrier Alexandra 2012 is a vintage rosé Champagne produced by Champagne Laurent Perrier in Reims, France. The Champagne house of Laurent-Perrier is celebrated for its innovative spirit and for the hallmark lightness, freshness and elegance of its wines. The Alexandra rosé comes from a rigorous selection of the house`s best plots of Grand Cru Pinot Noir (80% of the blend) and Chardonnay (20%). It is matured for 10 years on lees before disgorgement. Producer note. "A complex nose with notes of red fruits (crushed strawberries). A rich, warm wine with red fruit aromas and a bitter orange finish."

A blend of 80% Pinot Noir from Ambonnay, Bouzy, Mailly-Champagne and Verzenay, combined with 20% Chardonnay from Avize, Cramant and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Laurent-Perrier’s 2012 Alexandra Rosé was disgorged in December 2023 with a dosage of seven grams per liter. Here, Pinot Noir juices—typically macerated for 48 to 72 hours—are co-fermented with Chardonnay musts, resulting in a wine of considerable complexity. Presenting a deep ruby hue, the wine unfurls from the glass with aromas of wild strawberry, pomegranate, blood orange and black velvet gooseberry. Medium- to full-bodied, satiny and beguiling, it reveals a flamboyant core of fruit, underpinned by succulent yet vibrant acidity and culminating in a perfumed, gently phenolic finish. Elegantly muscular and harmonious, it is a wine that compels one to refill the glass, confirming the adage that the best bottles are those that are swiftly emptied. - Kristaps Karklins

The 2012 Rosé Cuvée Alexandra is the hidden gem in the Laurent Perrier range. I seldom see it talked about, which is a shame. Then again, Laurent Perrier only bottles this Champagne in very rare vintages that allow for a maceration of both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Rose petal, mint, kirsch, cinnamon and dried flowers caress the palate. Cuvée Alexandra is such a special Champagne, one I would very much like to see more often! Antonio Galloni8th April 2025

100% Grand Cru blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, the Alexandra Rosé 2012 Millésimé brings a patrician pedigree to the glass. Luminous and intense aromas of savory red fruit, pink grapefruit, lemon, and chalk lead into a medium-bodied palate with a pinpoint mousse that’s richly embellished by ripe red fruit concentration and precision acid buoyancy. Balanced and refreshing, it has a luxuriously long finish with a subtle tannic note.Sarah Mayo8th November 2023

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.
