LAURENT-PERRIER ROSé
The undisputed star of the pink fizz market, Laurent-Perrier Rosé remains No.1 in the pink
Champagne field thanks to its consistently appealing light, elegant fruit and delicate mousse.
The iconic dumpy bottle with its pink foil and label is instantly recognisable on the shelves and
in the fridges of the world’s best bars and hotels. Laurent Perrier first released this rosé in 1968,
well before it became fashionable to have a pink-hued Champagne in the portfolio. 100% Pinot
Noir is sourced from both the north and south sectors of the Montagne de Reims sub-region, and
famously draws its colour from skin contact rather than the more usual addition of red wine. It
has striking freshness on the nose, bags of pure, zippy strawberry and raspberry fruit flavours,
and satisfying vivacity. It’s beautifully balanced with a long finish, and calls for a carpaccio of raw
salmon. This is a wonderful bottle of Rosé Champagne. The bottle alone will be striking to most,
but what’s in the glass is even more special.
