Rosé Vintage 2015

With the Rosé Vintage 2015, Roederer shows a classic of the house: elegant, balanced and very fresh. Around two thirds Pinot noir bring juice and flesh, while a third Chardonnay from Chouilly adds tension and length. The exact blend is 65 to 35 per cent, and 20% of the wine is vinified in oak. Four years on the lees are followed, after disgorgement, by a rest of at least six months.

The nose opens with mint, strawberries, raspberries and slightly tart fruit, joined by spice, smoke, nuts, toasted almonds and cocoa. The perlage is very fine. On the palate it seems soft and creamy at first, then clear and taut, finishing with great length. A rosé for 8 to 10 °C, served in a white wine glass or tulip glass, and a good match for salmon, duck or red berries. Gift packaging is included.
