Laurent Perrier, the benchmark for the non-vintage rosé champagne category, wishing to raise its standards even further developed a vintage Grande Cuvée Rosé. Alexandra Rosé Millésimé is a rare and sought-after wine that comes from a rigorous selection from the best plots, an exceptional marriage between the Pinot Noir Grands Crus and Chardonnay.

96/100 Wine Spectator, 100% Grand Crus, Only 10 vintages have been marketed since its launch in 1987, Only the years when the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay Grands Crus reach maturity at the same time allow for the development of Alexandra Rosé Millésimé

The 2012 wine year was complicated with winter and spring frosts, hail and cryptogamic diseases, which had an impact on the yield, which was rather moderate. The dry, sunny summer allowed the grapes to ripen to perfection allowing for an exceptional harvest.

Champagne Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 but the story is really one of modern renaissance. In 1939 the House was sold to the de Nonancourt family & Madame de Nonancourt passed control of the House to her son Bernard in 1948. Bernard had a modern vision of a champagne style that could be enjoyed any time with a cleaner palate. He brought innovation & a pioneering spirit to the House, so the Laurent-Perrier style of elegance & freshness was born. His legacy lives on today through his daughters.

Champagne terroir covers a roughly 34,000 ha of vineyards, each one bringing together a combination of climate, soil & terrain. The production zone AOC was defined & delimited by a law passed in 1927. The terroir has two major features: northerly latitude & dual climate. The subsoil is mainly limestone with the addition of chalk & marl. This subsoil has good drainage & also adds that mineral taste to certain Champagnes. The moderately steep terrain offers perfect exposure to sunlight with added drainage.

Eye - A deep blood orange colour with very fine, persistent bubbles. Nose - A complex nose with notes of red fruits (crushed strawberries). Palate - A rich, warm wine with red fruit aromas and a bitter orange finish.
