Description:
Named after the eldest daughter of Bernard de Nonancourt, this delicate Rose was the best kept secret in the Tours-sur-Marne cellars until it was revealed as the surprise present at Alexandra's wedding. The ultimate Rose, it is a rare wine and 1990 is only the fourth vintage to have been released. Only 100% rated Pinot Noir grapes are used in the process known as "saignee" - apart from a small percentage of Chardonnay added at the time of pressing. This Champagne has a gentle, pink colour with a deep, powerful, complex nose that develops into toasty honey aromas. This wine has carried Laurent-Perrier's reputation for Rose to Champagnes to new heights.

This Champagne originated from an exhaustive study of the art of assemblage and was inspired by Bernard de Nonancourt's grandfather's careful tasting on the qualities of various growths. Over the years La Cuvee has been made using different complementary combinations of vintages. The current assemblage comprises wines primarily from the last three outstanding vintages.

Made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes from a total of ten 100% rated Grands Crus villages, this Champagne gets its glorious pink colour and rounded red fruit flavours from a process known as "saignee" in which the skins of the grapes are left in contact with the juice for three days. Laurent-Perrier's Cuvee Rose not only makes a delicious aperitif, but is also a good match for a variety of different dishes, particularly puddings. (6 x 75 cl)
Laurent Perrier still make a traditional rosé. Coral pink in colour and faint hints of strawberries which stem from the Pinot Noir skins having delicately coloured this delicious Champagne. A favourite amongst many. (6 x 75 cl)
The flagship of Laurent-Perrier, which embodies the House style: deliciously fresh and easy to drink. The blend is composed of over 55 different Crus . After being aged for over three years, liqueur d'expedition is added and the Champagne is matured for a further six months. The result is a delicate yet complex nose, with hints of citrus fruit, and a good balanced palate. Perfect as an aperitif. (6 x 75 cl)
