Louis Roederer, Rosé Vintage, Champagne, France, 2010

Surprisingly pale, but certainly very, very interesting. Champagne Louis Roederer Rosé Vintage 2010 has a minerally nose with brioche and citrus fruit. The pink elements come more into play on the palate with rose petal flavours alongside subtle quince, citrus and savoury cox’s apple. Dry, fresh and long, the overall effect is one of delicacy, depth and sophistication. Classic and classy.
