I was unaware of this cuvée. This is only the 10th time it’s been released since its inauguration in 1982. Lots going on. Upon pouring, the bubbles disappeared quickly. A powerful nose of strawberry, cherries and florals yet I do not feel this was fully open. In the mouth citrus like acidity. Builds in the mouth but in a restrained way. Very vinous. Creamy texture with layers of red fruit, toast and spice vacationing in your mouth. Deceptively elegant texture .

This was utterly delicious…2004, red berry, earthy, dried rose petals, high acid and long finish..paired with cheese, crackers, and anything crunchy and salty.

Tasted from magnum, the 2004 Grande Cuvée Rosé Alexandra, Laurent-Perrier’s flagship Rosé is a blend of 80% Pinot Noir (on the skins) and 20% Chardonnay vinified together that has only been bottled seven times since 1982. From the very first taste, the 2004 is utterly spectacular. Rich, ample and vertical in feel, the 2004 is dazzling. Dried rose petal, star anise, tobacco, dried flowers, red berry fruit and earthy notes all grace this utterly exquisite Champagne. As good as the 2004 is today – and it is fabulous – it will be even better in another few years’ time. The 2004 has been nothing short of magnificent on both occasions I have tasted it so far.

Tasted two bottles- slight variance but equally stunning- complex. Co-fermented Pinot Noir and Chardonnay- all GC, all 2004. Phenolic, brass-copper, extremely taut, linear and complex. Beautiful.

Frederique at LP sent us home with the rest of the bottle we tasted... So we had it with our pizza emporter! A great high/low pairing that I hope to repeat! The coppery, bottomlessly complex wine played very well with the saucy pie.
