Before the sparkling revolution took hold of Champagne, the region's still red wines, particularly those from the sun-drenched, south-facing slopes of the Grand Cru village of Bouzy, were the darlings of French royalty. Laurent-Perrier's Bouzy Rouge is a rare, prestigious homage to this historic era. Crafted entirely from Pinot Noir grown in the chalky, clay-rich soils of Bouzy, this Coteaux Champenois AOC wine benefits from a unique microclimate that coaxes optimal ripeness from the grapes. Vinified as a still red, it undergoes traditional maceration and aging to express a delicate, mineral-driven profile. It weaves a narrative of bright red cherries, wild strawberries, and subtle forest floor, showcasing a lighter, more ethereal side of Pinot Noir that contrasts beautifully with its sparkling siblings.
