The vineyard

This prestigious Champagne Rosé was created in 1987 by Bernard de Nonancourt on the occasion of the wedding of his eldest daughter, Alexandra. Created in exceptional years, this cuvée is the result of a rigorous selection of Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims (Ambonnay, Bouzy, Mailly, Verzenay) and Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs (Avize, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger), two of the most illustrious terroirs of Champagne.

The wine

Laurent-Perrier's Alexandra Rosé is produced only in years when the Grands Crus of Champagne (Pinot Noir and Chardonnay) simultaneously reach perfect ripeness. Since its launch, only 10 vintages have been released. This Rosé champagne is aged for 10 years.

The vintage

The vintage was characterized by unstable weather, starting with a freezing winter, followed by a spring in which hail and health problems had an impact on yields. A mild summer helped the grapes ripen perfectly.

Assembly

Pinot Noir 80%
Chardonnay 20%
