Description

Roederer Rosé 2008 is a champagne bursting with finesse and flavor.

2008 was a trying year for the vines, but a dry summer and an exceptional September produced grapes of perfect ripeness, with an exceptional natural balance between freshness and concentration.

Made from a blend of 66% Pinot Noir and 34% Chardonnay, 20% of which was vinified in oak foudres, this cuvée is based on the saignée technique, which consists in letting the grapes macerate cold to obtain this unique hue and rich aromas.

Champagne Rosé 2008 Roederer has a brilliant salmon-pink color with deep reflections. Its effervescence is discreet, rich and creamy.

The nose is intense and precise, dominated by notes of red fruit (redcurrant, wild raspberry) and citrus (orange, pomelo).

On the second nose, riper, warmer, sweeter notes emerge, with nuances of lightly roasted dried fruit and cocoa powder.

On the palate, the wine is lively and immediately reveals notes of fresh fruit in a silky, almost creamy texture. The vinosity of this cuvée bears the hallmark of the great Pinot Noirs of 2008.

Roederer's Rosé 2008 offers a rich body, carried by a chalky freshness, just right and slender. The bubbles are fully integrated into this long, fresh wine.

The finish is mineral, with a touch of iodine and salt.

This is a cuvée with a gastronomic vocation, which we recommend opening an hour before tasting and keeping chilled to bring out its full potential.
