A monumental Champagne in terms of charisma and stylistic rigor. The olfactory profile alternates between small red fruits and extremely refined spicy and mineral notes.

A display of style that represents the pinnacle of prestigious rosés worldwide.
Laurent-Perrier Alexandra Grande Cuvée Rosé Brut 2012
The Alexandra Grande Cuvée Rosé 2012 by Laurent-Perrier is a monumental work, born from Bernard de Nonancourt's desire to create an exceptional vintage rosé for his daughter's wedding. This Champagne represents a technical unique: the Pinot Noir (80%) and Chardonnay (20%) from the most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards are macerated together, a challenge that requires perfect synchronicity in the ripening of the grapes. The 2012 vintage, considered exceptional in Champagne, gave a generous structure yet endowed with vibrant tension. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: clear notes of wild strawberries, orange zest, and rose petals blend with deep scents of dried apricot, sweet spices, toasted brioche, and a mineral trail reminiscent of chalk dust. On the palate, it is sumptuous and three-dimensional;The entry is broad, dominated by a dense and silky texture that extends towards a savory, endless finish with an interminable aromatic persistence, characterized by an aristocratic balsamic freshness.
