Laurent Perrier Alexandra Grand Cuvee Rose Champagne 2004

Full, robust, but yet elegant. Aromas of yeast, red fruits and minerals. The palate is full body, with Macintosh apples, cherries and fresh pastry, and minerals. This has a nice stream of acidity go through that it is perfect for rich foods, like Lobster pot pie! - D&M TASTING NOTES

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“Tasted from magnum, the 2004 Grande Cuvée Rosé Alexandra, Laurent-Perrier’s flagship Rosé is a blend of 80% Pinot Noir (on the skins) and 20% Chardonnay vinified together that has only been bottled seven times since 1982. From the very first taste, the 2004 is utterly spectacular. Rich, ample and vertical in feel, the 2004 is dazzling. Dried rose petal, star anise, tobacco, dried flowers, red berry fruit and earthy notes all grace this utterly exquisite Champagne. As good as the 2004 is today – and it is fabulous – it will be even better in another few years’ time. The 2004 has been nothing short of magnificent on both occasions I have tasted it so far.” - 96 PTS, ANTONIO GALLONI, VINOUS MEDIA (07/2019)

“Disgorged in 2012 after eight years sur lattes, the 2004 Brut Alexandra Grande Cuvée Rosé has really begun to develop some complexity after seven years on cork. Salmon-pink in hue, the wine wafts from the glass with a beautiful bouquet of blood orange, iodine, dried rose petals, aromatic bitters and tangerine. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, pure and racy, with a delicate pinpoint mousse, good concentration at the core and a long, saline finish. Readers who have had the foresight to cellar a few bottles should pop a cork or two, as this rosé is showing brilliantly.” - 95 PTS, WILLIAM KELLEY, WINE ADVOCATE (04/2019)
