CHAMPAGNE, FRANCE

#62 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 of 2020

The 2014 Louis Roederer Brut Rose Pink has a pink hue with attractive golden tints. Beautiful beads of soft, even bubbles. An intense, fresh and fruity bouquet, reminiscent of a tangy red fruit tart (wild strawberry, blueberry), slightly sweet yet underpinned by more concentrated, jammy and citrus notes. The aromatic complexity comes through after a few swirls in the glass giving us a medley of spice, warm cinnamon and peppers.Fleshy attack dominated by ripe, crunchy, plump red fruit that brings depth and creaminess. The fruity structure is gradually elongated by a chalky, mineral freshness that creates a lingering sensation of lightness and harmony on the finish.

Blend: 63% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay
