Warm and sunny, 2005 remains a benchmark year, producing rich wines with a strong personality, perfectly defined by a radiance induced by the coolness of the late summer days.

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.

Still exuberant and full of spirit, this 2005 vintage comes from a sunny year that produced intense and perfectly ripe grapes.

True to its terroirs, it combines the full ripeness of the Pinots noirs from Cumières with the elegance of the Chardonnays from Chouilly. A subtle magic is at work: bright fruit, still pure and precise, and a silky, velvety body which has taken on density over the years. With its incredible aromatic persistence, this 2005 Rosé is elegant, generous and very fine. A real treat!

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!
