Created in 1968 and now a true benchmark, La Cuvée Rosé de Laurent-Perrier embodies the elegance and straightforward aromatic expression of a great rosé Champagne. Designed for those who love vibrant fruit without sacrificing precision, this cuvée celebrates Pinot Noir in a luminous, delicately savory interpretation of exemplary purity. If you’re looking for a gastronomic rosé that can brighten the moment, from aperitif to the most subtle food pairings, this cuvée offers an effervescence as fine as it is relentless, a spectrum of fresh red fruits that dances between intensity and grace, and a clean, delicately mineral finish that invites the next sip. At the heart of its signature, a rare mastery of saignée maceration preserves the sincerity of the fruit, while a carefully adjusted Brut dosage underscores freshness without concealing it. A contemporary classic, crafted to elevate great occasions and to enhance everyday entertaining.

Assemblage et vinification

La Cuvée Rosé is made exclusively from carefully selected Pinot Noir from the terroirs of the Montagne de Reims, including renowned crus such as Ambonnay, Bouzy, Louvois and Tours-sur-Marne. The house practices saignée maceration for 48 to 72 hours, a demanding approach that captures the nuance of the flesh without tipping into heavy extraction. This delicacy gives the wine its characteristic sheen and sculpts an aromatic profile of great precision. Malolactic fermentation is carried out to round out the structure and harmonise the grape’s natural liveliness. Ageing in tank preserves the brightness of the primary aromas and the wine’s linearity, while a Brut dosage of 8 g/L sharpens the finish and emphasises the tension. Non-vintage, this cuvée rests on the art of blending, ensuring a faithful expression of the Laurent-Perrier style, focused on clarity, balance and length.

Notes de dégustation

• Colour : Brilliant salmon-pink with golden highlights, animated by a fine and persistent effervescence that traces an elegant, regular collar in the glass, promising a delicate texture and great precision on the palate.
• Nose : Generous expression of fresh red fruits, crisp and crunchy, where strawberry, Morello cherry, blackcurrant and raspberry mingle. A touch of blood orange brings a citrus twist that emphasises liveliness and length. The whole remains clean and pure, without artifice.
• Palate : A lively, structured attack unfolds precise material with a refined texture. The zesty backbone balances tender fruit flesh, then stretches to a supple, mineral finish that refreshes the palate and prolongs the aromas of small red fruits with great clarity.

Température de service et conseils

Serve La Cuvée Rosé between 8 and 10°C to reveal the fruit’s freshness and the finesse of the bubbles. A tulip glass with a slightly narrowed opening will help concentrate the bouquet and direct the effervescence to the palate. Open the bottle a few minutes before serving, without decanting, to let the cuvée blossom while retaining its natural tension. Store it lying down, away from light, in a cool, stable cellar. This cuvée is enjoyable today and reveals itself beautifully throughout the meal, gaining complexity as it breathes in the glass.

Accords mets et vin

• Aperitifs : a refined prelude with notes of red fruits, ideal with briny bites, prawns and langoustines, or a thin savoury tart with seasonal vegetables.
• Cold starters : fish carpaccios, delicate tartares, sea-inspired ceviches where controlled acidity echoes the wine’s tension.
• Seafood dishes : seafood and poached or lightly seared fish, served with citrus or fresh herbs, which converse with the freshness and salinity of the finish.
• White meats : roasted poultry, tender veal fillet, with light berry or zest sauces, highlighting the wine’s gourmand dimension and aromatic precision.
• Fruity desserts : red berry salads, citrus desserts, thin seasonal tarts, where moderate sweetness lets the wine keep its drive and brightness.
