Laurent-Perrier Alexandra Rosé 2004 0,75l (12% Vol.) in wooden box

You should not miss out on this prestigious vintage sparkling wine (0.75l). The House of Laurent-Perrier creates them extremely rarely. Only 7 such vintages have been marketed since 1987.
The Alexandra Rosé Cuvée is already a visual delight: salmon-colored with a fine perlage. The bottle with its swan-like neck and the elegant wooden box in which the bottle is housed also testify to elegance and top quality!

Smell and taste

This Laurent-Perrier Champagne (12%) has a complex aroma of wild strawberries and redcurrant jam on the nose. These are followed by notes of candied citrus fruits. On the palate, the Rosé Cuvee has a fine, soft texture and is dry with mineral acidity. The finish also hints at red fruits.

Production

For this rare vintage sparkling wine, the individual components must be outstanding: the berries, the acidity, the sugar concentration and their development. 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay are used. To create the Cuvée Alexandra Rosé, the Pinot Noir and Chardonay crus must be ripe at the same time. Only the best Grand Crus of the two grape varieties are selected for the assemblage.
The 2004 wine year was initially characterized by numerous hailstorms and rain showers in spring and summer. However, a warm and dry September enabled a rich harvest and intensive ripening for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexandra Rosé champagne matures in bottles in the cellar for at least 10 years. Enjoy it at 10 to 12 degrees with seafood, truffles and other exquisite dishes.

Laurent-Perrier

Laurent-Perrier from Champagne is one of the most famous sparkling wine producers in France. It was given its unmistakable style by Bernard Nonancourt, whose aim was to add an elegant aperitif mood to the Laurent-Perrier champagnes. To achieve this, he steadily increased their Chardonnay content.
This is why you can still recognize a Laurent-Perrier champagne today by its complex character: citrus fruits, white fruit aromas and notes of toast and cake. The champagnes of this house stand for freshness, finesse and elegance.
