✨ Technical Specifications
Laurent-Perrier's Alexandra Rosé is a legendary prestige cuvée born from a romantic family secret. In 1987, the house's visionary leader, Bernard de Nonancourt, presented this exquisite vintage rosé at the wedding of his eldest daughter, Alexandra, having kept its creation entirely hidden from her until the celebration. This rare Champagne is crafted using an unusual co-maceration technique, where Grand Cru Pinot Noir (typically around 80%) from the Montagne de Reims and Chardonnay (around 20%) from the Côte des Blancs are macerated together. This delicate and demanding process yields a copper-apricot hue, remarkable aromatic complexity, and a silky texture. Aged for nearly a decade in the chalk cellars of Tours-sur-Marne, it represents the pinnacle of Laurent-Perrier's art of assemblage and maceration.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1812 in Tours-sur-Marne by André Michel Pierlot and established under its enduring name by Mathilde Emilie Perrier, Champagne Laurent-Perrier is one of the world's most prestigious and family-owned Champagne houses. Under the visionary post-war leadership of Bernard de Nonancourt, the house pioneered an avant-garde winemaking philosophy centered on freshness, finesse, and Chardonnay-driven elegance, famously adopting stainless steel vats early on to preserve absolute aromatic purity. Laurent-Perrier is celebrated for shaping modern Champagne trends, boasting an iconic portfolio that includes the trailblazing zero-dosage Ultra Brut, the benchmark maceration-crafted Cuvée Rosé, and the illustrious prestige cuvée Grand Siècle, composed from multiple declared vintage years.
