7. Champagne Louis Roederer Brut Rosé 2016

Origin: Reims, France
Varietals: 62% Pinot Noir, 38% Chardonnay
Price: $95.00
ABV: 12.5%

A great rosé 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, Cumières, 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 saignée rosé. Brut Rosé is 100% estate-bottled from the grapes of the historic family-owned vineyards.

The wine shows a salmon pink rosé color with a refined and persistent effervescence.  The bouquet is marked by red berries and citrus. The palate delivers concentrated juice with delicate hints of oyster shell, lemon zest, stone fruit and spice.  Impeccably balanced and finishing with delicate grace.
