winemaker's notes:

The best selling rosé Champagne in the world, Laurent-Perrier is one of the few rosés still made by the saignée method. To emphasize this traditional technique, the Champagne is bottled in an embossed bottle that is a reproduction of those used in the late 17th century.

This salmon-pink rosé Champagne is truly remarkable for its highly expressive bouquet, stemming from very careful preservation of fresh fruit aromas during the winemaking. Made with 100% pinot noir using skin contact, also known as the saignée method, Laurent-Perrier's know-how and attention to quality produces a finely crafted rosé with both depth and freshness. It has become the benchmark for rosé Champagne around the world.

Bright, fresh and intense, with notes of raspberries, strawberries and black cherries.

critical acclaim:

"Delicate and subtly textured, with sweet cherry, ripe plum and raspberry fruit notes that are balanced by citrusy acidity. Shows fine attention to detail, ending with a light smoky finish. Drink now. 7000 cases imported."

Wine Spectator

"Copper pink in color, this is a red-fruited rosé. It's firm with gentle grape-skin tannin that rounds it without astringency. A mineral back note and a hint of raw almond mark the end. A frim, clean line of flavor, this is ready to pour with crab."

I have bought 2 of these one of which was supposed to be for my now doomed honeymoon, ever since we broke up and I tasted this fine champagne I've bought one every year to remember a love lost and one found in this bottle. It's great, try it you'll love it!!!

I bought a bottle and held on to it for a special occasion. I should have known that drinking the champagne WAS the special occasion. This is by far my favorite champagne. The Pinot Noir leads to notes of fresh strawberries and raspberries with a firm finish. Great with spicy foods!

A Customer - Houston, Texas

"Pink" champagnes have always seemed sikly-sweet and cheap to me, but Laurent Perrier Rose has changed my mind. I first had this champagne while on vacation in Europe - and it is now my favorite. It is just the right combination of dry and sweet, not too fruity, and perfect for any occassion.
