Louis Roederer 2015 Vintage Rose Champagne is an intense, fresh and fruity vintage that benefitted from years of developing a unique technique for producing Rose at Louis Roederer. Their process is referred to as 'infusion' and brings out the juicy, ripe characteristics of Pinot Noir whilst still maintaining the varietal's exceptional freshness.
This Vintage Rose Champagne has a stunning pink hue with golden tints and soft rising beads of balanced bubbles. The nose is complex and aromatic leading to a fruity and well-structured palate with a harmonic finish.
Food Pairing:
It is a fantastic pairing with fish such as salmon; meat including lamb, veal, guinea fowl, and even pheasant; and also soft cheeses such as Chaource and Brillat-Savarin. It can also be served with red fruit based deserts that are less sweet, such as a red fruit zabaglione or a red fruit gratin.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve at 12°C
Technical Characteristics:
Grape Varieties: 63% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay
Vineyards:
A great Rosé champagne must be made from very ripe grapes - sometimes difficult to obtain in the Champagne climate. As a result, Louis Roederer has chosen to invest in one of the earliest Champagne crus villages,Cumières, for which the steeply-sloping, shallow clayand limestone soils face south and benefit from additional light reflected from the river Marne, enabling great phenolic maturity to be achieved. In these select terroirs, Louis Roederer applies the precision wine-making methods required to craft a saignée rosé. The Chardonnay is from the north facing slopes in Chouilly, bringing bright and fresh notes.
Background Information:
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. The annual production of its wines (Brut Premier, Carte Blanche, Brut Vintage, Rosé Vintage, Blanc de Blancs, Cristal, Cristal Rosé) represents just over three million bottles, distributed to 100 countries worldwide.
