Varietal: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2016 Colour: Champagne Style: Dry
Producer: Louis Roederer
Description:
A snapshot of a year, this Rosé comes from 35 small staggered plots on the warm terroirs of our “La Rivière” estate planted with Pinot noir, and the cooler limestone soils where the Chardonnay thrives.
Born mostly from our vines in Cumières, this Rosé benefits from a long and soft infusion of the Pinot noir that allows the extraction of the juice and ripeness all the while preserving this great saline freshness.
Tasting Note:
94 points Wine Advocate
Wafting from the glass with notes of pear, raspberries and honeycomb, mingled with hints of white flowers and brioche, Roederer's 2014 Brut Vintage Rosé is medium to full-bodied, deep and complete, with fine concentration, brisk acids and an elegant pinpoint mousse. Long and penetrating, this is a fabulous cuvée that punches well above its weight, and it comes warmly recommended.
