Laurent Perrier Alexandra Grand Cuvee Rose

W&S 94 Wine & Spirits Michel Fauconnet macerates pinot noir and chardonnay together (an 80-20 blend), allowing the color of pinot’s skins to tint the wine, while the chardonnay skins add to the wine’s structure, tightening the red fruit in a delicate tannic vise. There’s a wild mushroom savor to the wine, a gamey, woodland note and a minty crispness. Youthfully brash, then nuanced and satisfying, this is substantial enough for the dark meat of roast game birds. | Varietal: Sparkling | Country: France | Size: 750ml
