Champagne Louis Roederer Brut Rosé 2017

60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay

A rosé of superb energy, which combines great aromatic finesse with a unique strength of character, a blend of saline freshness, and a lovely plump body.

An immediate bouquet of forest fruit (wild strawberries and raspberries) and citrus (blood orange) with some zesty and powdery petal-like notes (rose-flavored macaroons). Upon aeration, the citrus fruit gives way to chocolate nuances with a few spicy and resinous (cedar) overtones.

The palate is caressingly soft, delicious, delicate and elegant. We have the sensation of a silky texture that softly evaporates to give way to a cloud of delicate and slightly spicy perfumes. The fruit is concentrated and almost liqueur-like on the mid-palate where it is energised by the fresh and iodised flavours. On the finish, the delectable chocolate nuances combine with the chalky freshness to create a lingering and pure impression of salinity.
