Monday, October 4, 2004 - An evening with Laurent-Perrier (Connaught Hotel, London): Apparently one of the best selling rosé champagnes in the world, this is a rosé de saignée from 100% pinot noir sourced from ten grands crus vineyards.
A very, very pale salmon colour. An interesting nose with plenty of earthy red fruit pinot noir character. Very fruity initially, then fills out to a fully dry wine with some ripe fruit showing through. Very well balanced and wonderfully elegant.
