Laurent Perrier Alexandra Rosé 2004 150cl Champagne

Bernard de Nonancourt created this vintage rosé when his eldest daughter Alexandra married in 1987. The grapes for this luxury Cuvée Rosé are hand-sorted and de-stemmed prior to short maceration for the Pinot Noir. These are then blended with the delicate Chardonnay to produce this complex champagne. The champagne is aged in Laurent-Perrier's cellars for approximately 10 years before disgorgement.
