Rosé 2004 -  Champagne Louis Roederer

A generous and classic year, 2004 can pride itself on having delivered both in terms of quality and quantity! The balance of perfect weather is today reflected in wines that have preserved their aromatic freshness and a vinous roundness honed by time.

A snapshot of a year, this Rosé comes from 35 small staggered plots on the warm terroirs of Cumières planted with Pinot noir, and the cooler limestone soils of Chouilly, where the Chardonnay grows. From these contrasting soils of Domaine Louis Roederer in the Vallée de la Marne (also known as the Vignoble de la Rivière) comes an original rosé, always produced as a vintage champagne. The cellar master has a special destiny in store for it, something unique in Champagne, a long, gentle infusion of the Pinot noir that will enable him to draw out its juicy, ripe character while preserving its tremendous saline freshness.

Aged for at least four years in the cellars, this is a graceful, intense and fresh Rosé Champagne unlike any other.

Tasting notes

This Rosé 2004 should be enjoyed with all five of the senses! Intense, explosive and captivating aromas frame a full and still very fresh structure.

Here, the Pinot noir expresses itself in all its creamy and delicious richness, perfectly set off by the well-honed finesse of the Chardonnays. This finesse persists and accompanies this precise, elegant and uncompromising exercise in style that the Louis Roederer Champagne House carries out every year!

“ A Rosé champagne with structure and vinosity, buoyed by ethereal bubbles... The squaring of the circle. ”
Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon,
Cellar Master

Ageing potential

Our champagnes undergo an extended period of ageing to allow them to gently evolve and mature, gaining in structure and depth, whilst developing highly nuanced aromas over the years.

You may enjoy them in the purity and chalky freshness of their youth or, if you appreciate more mature champagnes, wait a few more years or even decades for their candied, spicy notes to emerge. Our champagnes have a long future ahead of them and their destiny is in your hands!
