The singular shape of this bottle is worthy of the master glassmakers of the 17th century. Unique in the curve of its shoulders and the elegance of its slender swan neck, this bottle reinvents the mouth-blown bottles that contained the very first champagne wines at the court of the King of France. The label, inspired by the first cuvée launched in 1982, is adorned in powdered gold.
Its uniquely curved, elegant bottle is housed in a luxurious gift box, a veritable showcase for this grand cuvée, ideal for special occasions and gifts.
In 1982, Bernard de Nonancourt created an exceptional Vintage rosé cuvée, expressing his passion and the fruit of his experience. The know-how of the Laurent-Perrier Champagne House, the patient work of its people, their constant demands, the best that nature has to offer, the finest grape varieties at perfect ripeness, from the best Champagne crus: everything was exceptionally combined. Only in the very best years can such an encounter take place. This vision, initiated by Bernard de Nonancourt, still drives the excellence displayed by the entire Champagne House in the making of this great cuvée. It is the symbol of an infinite passion for wine, the signature of a style and spirit unique to Champagne.

Like all wines, champagne can be kept for varying lengths of time, depending on the type. Under optimal storage conditions, champagne can be kept for 1 to 2 years for Brut cuvées, and up to 4/5 years or even longer for vintage and prestige champagnes. Whatever happens, rest assured that you'll never be able to open your champagne too early, as the Champagne Houses only release their cuvées when they have reached perfect ripeness and are ready for immediate consumption.
80% Pinot Noir from Montagne de Reims (Ambonnay, Bouzy, Mailly, Verzenay), 20% Chardonnay from Côte des Blancs (Avize, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger). 100% Grands Crus.
Only exceptional vintages are deemed worthy of a Grande Cuvée Alexandra Rosé. These rare years are awaited and hoped for… Each harvest is carefully observed and assessed. The quality of the berries, their sugar concentration, their acidity, their potential to blossom – everything is analyzed by the Laurent-Perrier Cellar Master. This baroque pearl owes the originality of its profile to a highly original method of production: maceration of the grapes together, to bring out the purest fruity aromas.
Careful selection of localities for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes that have reached perfect ripeness at the same time.

Vintage 2012: The 2012 viticultural year was a complicated one, with winter then spring frosts, hail and cryptogamic diseases, all of which had an impact on yields, which were rather moderate. The dry, sunny summer enabled exceptional ripening of the grapes, which were harvested in perfect health.
