Rosé Vintage 2014

The Rosé Vintage 2014 from Louis Roederer relies on the juicy flesh of pinot noir, which the chardonnay from Chouilly stretches and refines. The cuvée is made up of 65% pinot noir and 35% chardonnay, and 20% of the wine matures in oak casks. It spent four years on the lees, and after disgorgement it rests for at least six months. The bubbles are very fine.

The nose is layered: mint, lively fruit, strawberries and raspberries, with spice and smoke of the kind pinot noir from Cumières can show, and later nuts, roasted almonds and cocoa beans. The palate begins soft and supple, then turns fresh and powerful, and lingers for a very long time. Drink it at 8 to 10 °C from a white wine glass, for example with tuna tartare, salmon or strawberries. It is delivered in a free gift box.
