Lot 8 , 1986 Louis Roederer Brut Rosé Millesime, Champagne, France (1)

1986 Louis Roederer Brut Rosé Millesime, Champagne, France (1) A great rosé Champagne must be made from very ripe grapes, which are sometimes difficult to obtain in the Champagne climate. As a result, Louis Roederer has chosen to invest in one of the earliest Champagne crus, Cumières, for which the steeply-sloping, shallow clay and limestone soils face south and benefit from the additional light reflected from the river Marne, enabling phenolic maturity to be achieved. In these select terroirs, Louis Roederer applies the precise winemaking methods required for the production of a saignée rosé. The style of this rosé is elegant, full-bodied and with delicate fruitiness..

Louis Roederer's Rosé Vintage is 100% estate-bottled from the grapes of the historic family-owned vineyards in Cumières and Chouilly.
