Louis Roederer Rose Brut 2016

Introduction

A great rose champagne must be made from very ripe grapes, which are sometimes difficult to obtain in the Champagne climate. As a result, Louis Roederer has chosen to invest in one of the earliest Champagne crus, Cumieres, for which the steeply-sloping, shallow clay and limestone soils face south and benefit from the additional light reflected from the river Marne, enabling phenolic maturity to be achieved. In these select terroirs, Louis Roederer applies the precise winemaking methods required for the production of a saignee rose. The style of this rose is elegant, full-bodied and with delicate fruitiness (red fruits). Louis Roederer Brut Rose is 100% estate-bottled from the grapes of the historic family-owned vineyards.
