Its vinification, partially in traditional oak casks, underpins the generous character of this fine, elegant and rich wine. A lovely colour…

It is one of the rare rosé Champagnes to be made using the maceration (skin contact) technique, which gives it the extraordinary depth and freshness that has made it the benchmark for rosé champagne…

Laurent-Perrier Vintage 2004

By Glass of Bubbly / 22nd April 2014

Thus the Vintage 2004 is an exceptional wine and while it maintains the signature style of the House’s wines, it reflects the unique characteristics of the vintage year. Laurent-Perrier’s vintages have excellent ageing capacity. The wine…
