Since 1968, Laurent‑Perrier has developed the mastery of a very particular and rare know-how in Champagne: maceration. However, in 1968, Laurent-Perrier broke tradition and changed sparkling wine forever when they created their world-famous Rosé. First created in 1968, this iconic rosé is made purely with Pinot Noir from some of the Champagne region’s finest crus. Layers of juicy cherry and a lick of strawberries and cream are all wrapped up in a rich toasty blanket. Keeping true to the original yellow label, the brand uses a very similar blend here, backed up with bittersweet red berries from the dominant pinot noir grape.

This rosé version builds on the brand’s rich brioche base, while introducing red berries and a touch of stone fruit.In 1968, Paris was in turmoil and Laurent‑Perrier dropped a paving stone by launching a wine that was as surprising as it was creative: CuvéeRosé in its crest bottle. Laurent‑Perrier has been designing a reusable metal case with its clasp since 2017, to enhance the quality of the wine, matching the generously shaped CuvéeRosé bottle.
