Rosé 2015 -  Champagne Louis Roederer

 Warm and sunny, with a spectacularly dry summer, 2015 is a vintage of extremes.

Described as outstanding in more ways than one and notably because of the sumptuous Pinots noirs which delivered their finest qualities, it will mark the history of the Champagne region.

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

Intense and fresh, the Rosé Vintage abounds with zesty and delicately crunchy red berries.

It has body and breadth, an expression that is still tactile and luscious, prolonged by a fresh, chalky finish. A scintillating, joyful and saline rosé, this vintage champagne retains a certain fullness that makes it particularly good for pairing with food.

“ A Rosé of superb energy, which still combines great aromatic finesse with a unique strength of character, a blend of saline freshness and a lovely plump body. ”
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!

"Full-bodied, layered and vinous, it's rich and enveloping, its textural attack segueing into an ample, fleshy core that's girdled by bright acids and enlivened by a pillowy mousse."
