Note di degustazione
63% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay with 24% vinified in oak casks. Aged on lees seven years. Disgorged April 2020. Dosage 9 g/l. Tasted blind from magnum . Pale salmon colour. Flattering perfume. Broad fruit but it doesn’t quite hang together; a bit sweet and sour. Too young? (JR)

The 2012 Brut Rosé Vintage is another compelling wine in this range from Roederer. Creamy, open-knit and radiant, the 2012 captures the natural radiance and generosity of this vintage beautifully. Red berry, chalk, white flowers and mint build in a wonderfully inviting, layered Champagne. Floral overtones add freshness and perfume to play off the rich fruit. Dense and racy, but not at all heavy, the Rosé Vintage is positively stellar in 2012.
Roederer's 2012 Brut Vintage Rosé is showing well, offering up pretty aromas of apples, freshly baked bread and tangerine. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a generous core of succulent fruit, a youthfully frothy but fine mousse, ripe acids and a precise, elegantly chalky finish. It's an elegant, textural rosé that's quite vinous for this cuvée.
62% Cumières Pinot Noir, 38% north-facing Chardonnay in Chouilly. Disgorged early 2017. They keep the Pinot Noir at 4 °C and encourage a long maceration so it’s still juice. When the colour is right they rack and add the Chardonnay juice and then ferment them together. Lécaillon says they don’t make a non-vintage rosé because the colour is not consistent. Subtle with a dry finish. Very readable already for such a young wine. (JR)
