Based on synced-fermented 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay from company-owned grand cru vineyards, the salmon-pink colored 2004 Alexandra Grande Cuvée Rosé displays a very subtle and fresh bouquet of great elegance and purity. Intense and complex on the palate, this is a very dry, fresh and tension-filled Rosé full of energy and delicacy. Very elegant and still a bit limey, but a great Champagne.<br/><br/>Champagnes of Laurent-Perrier are mainly based on Chardonnay, whereas Pinot Noir is a junior partner and Meunier is only a very small part of the cuvées. Chef de cave François Cotard tries to extract the maximum of the aromatic part of the fruit to keep the natural freshness. That's why he ferments at controlled temperatures at 16 to 17 degrees Celsius in nothing but stainless steel vats. All of the cuvées undergo malolactic fermentation. Since Cotard protects his musts and wines from oxidation and racks the wines from the first lees very early, the wine style of LP is a very clear and reductive one. The assemblages of varieties, terroirs and vintages are made with the goal of keeping the freshness, finesse and elegance of the wines. The wines receive their maturity only from the aging on the lees from the second fermentation. Laurent-Perrier's range of Champagnes remains the same since 1982. All of the cuvées are excellent gastronomic Champagnes that go very well with food – or as an aperitif. The palate-cleansing Ultra Brut is a perfect Champagne for both aperitif and digestif.<br/><br/>

Rich and creamy, showing candied kumquat and dried apricot flavors married to the lively bead and acidity, with accents of pastry, marzipan, grated coconut and spice. The abundant smoky minerality gains momentum and sings out on the finish. Drink now through 2029.
Produttore
Laurent Perrier
André Michel Pierlot, ex bottaio e imbottigliatore di Chigny-les-Roses, fondò quella che sarebbe diventata la Maison Laurent-Perrier nel 1812. La Maison fu acquistata dalla famiglia Nonancourt nel 1939 e, nel rispetto dei valori tradizionali, Bernard de Nonancour diede forma al marchio con il suo spirito indipendente e la sua audacia creativa. Riportò i processi di vinificazione nella Maison, reintroducendo il tradizionale Methode Champenoise e modernizzando sia i processi tecnici che quelli di assemblaggio. Sotto la direzione dello Chef de Cave Alain Terrier, i vini continuano a mostrare l’unicità della loro storia e personalità, grazie alla sua arte nell'assemblaggio. Oggi, gli Champagne Laurent-Perrier sono conosciuti per la freschezza delicata, l'eleganza e l'accresciuta longevità.
