Louis Roederer 2012 Vintage Rose Champagne Magnum 150cl
Louis Roederer Vintage Rosé Champagne 2012 is a unique and rare Champagne of exceptional style thanks to the very particular way in which it is made. Louis Roederer is one of the few Houses that still use maceration on skins, a delicate method by which Pinot Noir grapes are left to macerate on the press for several hours to extract more fruit and colour.

Grape: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
The 2011 vintage generated the earliest harvest in the history of this famous Champagne House. This was a cooler year than average, making ripeness conditions more challenging. The weather improved at the end of the month with a return to summer temperatures by late August and throughout the month of September. Careful selection and low yields were key, Louis Roederer selected only the best grapes from its south-facing vineyards to create this wonderfully fresh but well-balanced expression.
Delicate pink colour with slight blue hints & lively stream of fine bubbles. The pure, precise bouquet mingles sweet honeysuckle and lily with bright red fruit and mandarin zest, combined with typical Louis Roederer smokiness and ripeness. Precision and purity are echoed on the palate with a crunchy, mature attack of Pinot Noir, accompanied by freshness from the Chardonnay. After aeration, flavours of ripe, juicy fruit blend in a texture that is both smooth and fresh. Finesse and elegance with a long finish.
This Rose Champagne is a fantastic pairing with fish such as salmon; meat including lamb, veal, guinea fowl, and even pheasant; also soft cheeses such as Chaource and Brillat-Savarin. It can also be served with red fruit-based desserts that are less sweet, such as a red fruit zabaglione or a red fruit gratin.
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, Rose Vintage, Blanc de Blancs, Cristal, Cristal Rose) represents just over three million bottles, distributed to 100 countries worldwide.
