Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé NV
The Wine
Cuvée Rosé was created in 1968 from the boldness and unique savoir-faire of Laurent-Perrier. Perfected at each stage of its making, Cuvée Rosé is acknowledged for its consistency and its high quality.
Elegant, with colour changing naturally from a pretty raspberry hue to salmon-pink. A precise nose of extraordinary freshness and a wide range of red fruits: raspberry, redcurrant, strawberry, black cherry. A fresh and sharp attack for this supple and rounded wine. On the palate, it offers the sensation of plunging into a basket of freshly picked red berries. Its aromatic depth makes it ideal for pairing with marinated raw fish, grilled prawns, exotic dishes, Parma ham and red fruit desserts. Those who are more daring will try it with Asian or Indian cuisine.

About the Wine Maker 
Founded in 1812, Laurent-Perrier is recognised throughout the world as one of the finest of Champagne Houses. Now more than ever, the Nonancourt family’s values guide the Laurent-Perrier team. An independent spirit has always been the driving force behind the creative winemaking, which has led to a unique and highly successful range of champagnes. They are produced by a team led by Michel Fauconnet, chef de cave, and his predecessor Alain Terrier, who is recognised as one of the greatest winemakers in Champagne.
Only the musts of the cuvée are used, so only 80% of the grape juice is extracted from pressing; A majority Chardonnay, over 50%; Pinot Noir, over 30%; Pinot Meunier, between 10 and 20%; Reserve wines up to 20-30% to ensure perfect consistency in style. The blend of Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée is made from more than 100 crus; The chardonnay content is doubled, dosage (sugar content) is reduced and time on lees is increased giving wine the added complexity and creaminess.
