Laurent-Perrier Champagne Alexandra Grand Cuvée Rosé 2012 - 0,75l OC

Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Alexandra Rosé 2012 is the house’s prestige vintage rosé Champagne, produced only in exceptional years and presented here in its original case. Created to honour Alexandra de Nonancourt, it combines the elegance of Chardonnay with the depth and structure of Pinot Noir, offering a rare expression of Laurent-Perrier’s most ambitious style.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep salmon-pink to copper hue with a fine, persistent mousse. Its bouquet is expressive and layered, showing ripe red berries, wild strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant alongside citrus peel, delicate floral notes and subtle brioche developed during its extended maturation on the lees. On the palate, Cuvée Alexandra Rosé 2012 is precise and full-bodied, with vibrant acidity balancing its generous fruit. Notes of red cherry, blood orange and lightly spiced pastry lead to a long, mineral finish with impressive freshness. Already beautifully developed, this vintage has the concentration and balance to continue maturing for several more years when stored in ideal conditions.

Production
The cuvée is crafted from carefully selected Champagne fruit, traditionally centred on Pinot Noir with a complementary proportion of Chardonnay from distinguished vineyard sites. The grapes are hand-harvested and vinified with great precision, while the rosé character is obtained through controlled maceration of the Pinot Noir. After blending, the wine undergoes a long second fermentation and extended ageing in the bottle, allowing its fruit, structure and fine autolytic complexity to integrate fully.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 10–12°C, preferably in a tulip-shaped Champagne glass or a fine white-wine glass to reveal its aromatic depth. Decanting is not essential, but a gentle opening a few minutes before serving can help the wine unfold. Its structure makes it an excellent partner for lobster, langoustine, roast poultry, duck, veal and salmon, while its red-fruit character also pairs beautifully with subtly spiced Asian cuisine and mature soft cheeses.

Producer
Founded in 1812, Laurent-Perrier is one of Champagne’s most recognised independent houses, known for its emphasis on freshness, elegance and expressive Chardonnay-led styles. The house introduced Cuvée Alexandra Rosé in 1987 in honour of Alexandra de Nonancourt, and it is made only in years considered worthy of this prestige designation. Its limited production, long maturation and strong reputation for refined vintage rosé Champagne make the 2012 a particularly distinguished bottle for collectors and special occasions.
