Tasting note
In celebration of his daughter's marriage, Bernard de Nonancourt crafted this exquisite vintage rosé champagne, embodying the House's finest. Laurent-Perrier, known for its benchmark non-vintage rosé, created this exclusive and rare gem. Meticulous plot and vineyard selection for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes resulted in precision.
Viticulture
The wine-growing year began with a generally balanced winter followed by a mild spring. Although spread over time, the flowering period was satisfactory, but outbreaks of hail following storms in spring and summer affected certain areas. Fortunately, September’s beneficial warm, dry weather saw an abundant, well-ripened harvest of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Vinification
The selection of plots and vineyard sites for the perfectly ripe Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes was extremely stringent. During the maceration of the Pinot Noir grapes a small amount of Chardonnay was added. The delicate Chardonnay, blended with Pinot Noir produces a pale coloured wine with a uniquely complex aroma.
Food Match
A great compliment to many types of food including delicate crab, sweet Langoustines, game birds or Foie Gras and Truffles
