Current Vintage: 2016
Grapes: 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay
Founded in 1776, Louis Roederer is one of Champagne's great family-owned houses, renowned for its exceptional vineyards and meticulous approach to winemaking. Best known for Cristal, the house brings that same attention to detail to its vintage Rosé, producing a Champagne that combines the elegance of Chardonnay with the richness and character of Pinot Noir.
The 2017 Rosé is made primarily from Pinot Noir grown in Cumières, on the sunny slopes overlooking the Marne, complemented by Chardonnay from the cooler limestone soils of Chouilly. Roederer uses a distinctive technique known as infusion, allowing the Pinot Noir skins to gently release their colour and flavour before the Chardonnay is incorporated. The result is a rosé with remarkable delicacy, depth and precision, enhanced by extended ageing in the cellar.
Wild strawberry, raspberry and blood orange meet rose petals, citrus zest and a delicate hint of toasted brioche. The palate is beautifully textured, with fine bubbles, juicy red fruit and a lively mineral freshness that balances its generous character. Subtle notes of spice and toasted almond emerge through the long, elegant finish. Fabulous with lobster, tuna tartare, roast duck or grilled salmon. A sophisticated, wonderfully food-friendly rosé that demonstrates why Roederer remains one of Champagne's most respected names.
