Laurent Perrier Alexandra 2004 Grande Cuvee Rose 750ml

Laurent Perrier Alexandra 2004 Grande Cuvee Rose Champagne 750ml  

 As creator of the benchmark Cuvée Rosé, non‑vintage champagne, it was a natural evolution for Laurent‑Perrier, to offer a prestige vintage rosé. Alexandra Rosé is a rare and cherished wine that comes from a rigorous  selection of the best plots ; an exceptional marriage between Grands Crus grapes of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

 The year 2004: despite periods of hail and storms during the spring and summer, well‑matured harvest of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes (the former being more heterogenous).

 Grape varietals:  Pinot Noir 80%* 
Chardonnay 20%* 
Crus: 100% Grand Crus. Some of the most prestigious crus such as Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzenay for the Pinot Noir and Avize, Cramant and Le Mesnil‑sur‑Oger for the Chardonnay.
 The selection of plots and vineyards for the perfectly ripe Chardonnay and Pinot Noir was extremely strict. During the Pinot Noir maceration, 20% Chardonnay is added. Ageing: released from the cellars after 10 years.

 A delicate, pale salmon pink colour with persistent and fine bubbles. A complex nose with hints of wild strawberries and redcurrant jam, followed by notes of candied fruits. Elegant and refined, this wine shows great minerality. Its soft and dry texture leads into a long finish indicative of berry fruit with a strong presence of red fruit. 

Alc: 12%
