Rosé 2007 -  Champagne Louis Roederer

Warm, powerful and surprising, 2007 delivered grapes of exquisite harmony with a perfect balance of maturity and freshness to underpin this rich and subtle style.

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

With its elegant and delicate fruit, the 2007 Rosé combines aromatic richness and smooth vinosity.

The seductive, tight and finely-wrought structure of the Pinot noir appears, accompanied by floral and fruity notes, which are perfectly integrated into the minerality and freshness of the Chardonnays. This is a full-bodied, direct champagne, which is still dynamic and incisive. It will create some lovely pairings with finely spiced cuisine.

“ Concentrated yet fresh, born from an August harvest, this 2007 Rosé is a good example of a rosé "à la Roederer" in which the concentration, fruitiness and tight structure of the Pinot noir from Cumières is transcended by the elegance, purity and freshness of the great Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs. Some real Burgundy overtones from the Champagne region! ”

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!
