Laurent-Perrier Cuvee Rose Champagne NV
95 Points - DWWA. Arguably the most beautiful rosé champagne in the world, the most common criticism of this wine is that the bottles aren’t big enough. The Laurent Perrier Cuvee Rosé is bottled summer. Deep ruby pink, the bouquet wafts waves of concentrated strawberries, red cherries, and raspberries into the air. On the palate this a serious joy. It opens up with an intense, Burgundy-like rush of cherries, loganberries and brambles, only for cherry sherbet acidity, flowers, liquorice and dried apricots to add levity. A wonderful champagne that’s fit for any celebration, it goes brilliantly with lamb, hot smoked salmon, and fruity tarts.
Sensory Characteristics
Eye
Elegant, with the colour changing naturally from a pretty raspberry hue to salmon pink.
Nose
A precise nose of extraordinary freshness and a wide range of red fruits: raspberry, redcurrant, strawberry and black cherry.
Palate
A fresh and sharp attack for this supple and rounded wine. On the palate, it offers the sensation of plunging into a basket of freshly picked red berries.

About the Producer
A former cooper and bottler in Chigny-les-Roses, André-Michel Pierlot settled in Tours‑sur‑Marne in 1812 as a champagne wine merchant. It was in this Grand Cru village, located at the crossroads of the three main vineyards, on plots of land known as Les Plaisances and La Tour Glorieux, that he founded what was to become Maison Laurent‑Perrier. He was succeeded by his son Alphonse Pierlot. As Alphonse Pierlot had no descendants, he passed the company on to his cellar master Eugène Laurent. Eugène Laurent died prematurely in 1887, and his widow, Mathilde-Emilie Perrier, took over the reins of the company, adding her surname to that of Eugène Laurent to give the House the name Veuve Laurent‑Perrier. In 1889, she launched her "Grand Vin Sans Sucre", more to her taste and that of her British customers. Eugénie-Hortense Laurent succeeded her mother in 1925 and sold the estate in 1939.
