This is serious Champagne with a wickedly charming pink glow. Louis Roederer’s 2017 Brut Rosé is all about elegance, precision and pure drinking pleasure - the kind of bottle that instantly upgrades the moment you pop the cork.
In the glass it’s a soft salmon blush with a fine, persistent bead. On the nose: wild strawberries, raspberries, blood orange and a whisper of spice. On the palate it’s effortlessly classy, dry, poised and chalky with beautiful red-berry fruit, citrus lift and a long, savoury finish that just keeps going. Big birthday, proposal, long lunch, Christmas morning… or any time you want the table to go quiet for a second and say, “Whoa, that’s good.”

The winery writes "An immediate bouquet of forest fruit (wild strawberries and raspberries) and citrus (blood orange) with some
zesty and powdery petal-like notes (rose-flavoured macaroons). Upon aeration, the citrus fruit gives way to iodised and chocolate nuances with a few spicy and resinous (cedar) overtones. The palate is caressingly soft, delicious, delicate and elegant. We have the sensation of a silky texture that softly evaporates to give way to a cloud of delicate and slightly spicy perfumes. The fruit is concentrated and almost liqueur-like on the mid-palate where it is energised by the fresh and iodised flavours. On the finish, the delectable chocolate nuances combine with the chalky freshness to create a lingering and pure impression of salinity."
