***SOLID6 SELECTION***
Notes: Laurent‑Perrier, the benchmark for the non-vintage rosé champagne category, wishing to raise its standards even further developed a vintage Grande Cuvée Rosé. Alexandra Rosé Millésimé is a rare and sought-after wine that comes from a rigorous selection from the best plots, an exceptional marriage between the Pinot Noir Grands Crus and Chardonnay.
The 2012 wine year was complicated with winter and spring frosts, hail and cryptogamic diseases, which had an impact on the yield, which was rather moderate. The dry, sunny summer allowed the grapes to ripen to perfection allowing for an exceptional harvest.
Maceration, Vinification, and Ageing:
Grape varieties: Pinot Noir 80%, Chardonnay 20%
Crus: 100% Grands Crus.
Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims: Ambonnay, Bouzy, Mailly, Verzenay.
Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs: Avize, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.
A very rigorous selection of locations for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes that have reached perfect and simultaneous maturity.
Ageing: 10 years. The 2012 wine year was complicated with winter and spring frosts, hail and cryptogamic diseases, which had an impact on the yield, which was rather moderate.

Tasting Notes: The co-fermentation of macerated Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays produces an exceptionally aromatic rosé champagne. A deep blood orange colour with very fine, persistent bubbles. A complex nose with notes of red fruits (crushed strawberries). A rich, warm wine with red fruit aromas and a bitter orange finish.
