Laurent Perrier Rose de Saignee NV
Summary Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut NV is an iconic Champagne, created in 1968 as one of the first modern rosé Champagnes using the saignée (maceration) method. It is made exclusively from 100% Pinot Noir sourced from 10 different crus, primarily in the Montagne de Reims (including Grand Crus like Ambonnay, Bouzy, Louvois, and Tours-sur-Marne). Grapes undergo temperature-controlled maceration for 48-72 hours to extract color and intense aromas, followed by fermentation and at least 5 years aging on lees for richness and finesse. This non-vintage blend emphasizes ripe red fruit purity, freshness, and elegance, making it versatile as an aperitif or with food like salmon, duck, or red fruit desserts.
