A characteristic Roederer rosé: the concentration, fruitiness, and compactness of the Cumières Pinot noir grapes are transcended by the elegance, purity, and freshness of the finest Chardonnay grapes cultivated on the Côte des Blancs. »
Pink hue with attractive golden tints. Beautiful beads of soft, even bubbles. Intense, fresh and fruity bouquet, reminiscent of a tangy red fruit tart (wild strawberry, blueberry), slightly sweet yet underpinned by more concentrated, jammy and citrus notes. The aromatic complexity comes through after a few swirls in the glass giving us a medley of spice, warm cinnamon and peppers. Fleshy attack dominated by ripe, crunchy, plump red fruit that brings depth and creaminess. The fruity structure is gradually elongated by a chalky, mineral freshness that creates a lingering sensation of lightness and harmony on the finish
Can a wine be both serious and sumptuous?
Yes, yes it can and the 2014 Rosé is exactly that. 65% Pinot Noir from the Cumières vineyard in the Vallée de la Marne and 35% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, 20% of it in oak barrels with 4 years on its lees and 6 months of resting before release. Soft and plump red fruits like strawberries, raspberries, redcurrants and cherries are full and plus in the mouth, like liquid velvet. There is a hint of savoury on the finish which lingers long in the mouth with the soft red fruits, summer roses and crisp acidity that makes the mouth water. This is an absolute cracker, moreish and sumptuous, it is really delicious and drinkable now but if you have a second bottle, or five, pop them in the cellar and open one every few years to enjoy it as it develops. This is going to be a delight all through its lifespan.
