Louis Roederer Rosé 2016 Bottle (0.75L) | Box
The Louis Roederer Rosé 2016 Cuvée bottle with Luxury box is a deep and fruity champagne, delivering all the ripeness and intensity of a continental summer, dry and bright.
For yourself or as a gift, this luxurious box is suitable for all occasions.
Louis Roederer Rosé 2016 is an infusion Rosé: a long, gentle infusion of Pinot noir that extracts its juicy, ripe side while preserving its immense saline freshness. Some Chardonnay juices are thus poured into a Pinot Noir maceration, to ferment together and integrate perfectly.
The Vintage: The year 2016 was characterized by a particularly pronounced climatic swing: after a cool and wet spring, rather late, the summer was dry and hot marked by a heat wave at the end of August and a dry and sunny period of harvest ensuring the beautiful maturity of the grapes. These dry and bright conditions benefited the Pinot Noir grapes, which ripened to an intense fruity character and a silky texture. The Chardonnays are not to be outdone, with a more classic, chiseled and saline look.
Harvest from September 15 to October 1, 2016.
To the eye
Salmon color with bright red reflections. Stronger color. Fine effervescence, delicate but dynamic.
On the nose
Summery bouquet, of beautiful intensity and aromatic freshness, mixing ripe and juicy yellow fruits (vine peach), slightly acidic red fruits (red currant) and citrus fruits (blood orange). With airing, we can then detect more jammy notes of red apricot from Roussillon.
In the mouth
Mouth with a caressing attack, juicy and concentrated but immediately followed by a saline and chalky freshness which makes the matter very voluptuous and delicate. We find ripe and crunchy fruits (vine peach, nectarine) and citrus fruits (lemon) which give a zesty, even slightly bitter look. The soft and delicate effervescence is perfectly melted in a velvet texture. Salivating, almost salty finish, with a hint of tannins and bitters, that incredible chalky dryness that gives an impression of infinite length.
Food & champagne pairings
Ideal operating temperature
To appreciate all its finesse and aromas, champagne should be enjoyed chilled (but not iced). Depending on the cuvée, the ideal serving temperature is between 8 and 12°C.
Potential of keeping
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.
