Louis Roederer Rose 2014 Vintage Champagne - 75cl 12%

Pink hue with attractive golden tints. Beautiful beads of soft, even bubbles.

Founded in 1776, and property of the same family since 1819, Champagne Louis Roederer is today one of the last major champagne houses to be an independent family affair.

Over the years Louis Roederer has developed a unique technique for the production of its rosé champagnes.  This process, referred to by Roederer as the ‘infusion’ technique, allows us to bring out the juicy, ripe character of the Pinot Noirs whilst preserving their exceptional freshness.

A small amount of Chardonnay juice is added to the Pinot Noir maceration which then ferment together and integrate harmoniously.

The cuveé rosé 2014 was vinified 17% in old oak casks.

Nose: Intense bouquet of ripe wild strawberries, pink grapefruit and candied orange, accompanied by subtle notes of orange blossom and Madagascar vanilla.  The bouquet is very inviting and develops slowly to reveal  deep, sweet character.

Palate: The beautifully balanced palate boasts silken ripe fruit and zesty citrus over a vibrant and chalky palate with hints of liquorice spice.  The wine is elongated by a persistent fresh, almost effervescent chalky finish with subtle notes of hazelnut and cocoa beans.

Finish: Due to the decision not to carry out the malolactic fermentation, it has retained a remarkable freshness.
