ABOUT THIS WINE
The Louis Roederer Rosé Vintage 2017 is a sparkling rosé Champagne from Champagne, France. It is a blend of 62% Pinot Noir and 38% Chardonnay, sourced from the producer's estate vineyards in Cumières and Chouilly.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Louis Roederer Rosé Vintage 2017 is produced using a blend of 62% Pinot Noir and 38% Chardonnay. The Pinot Noir undergoes a unique 'infusion' process, a long and gentle maceration to extract color and flavor while maintaining freshness. Some Chardonnay juice is added to this maceration for co-fermentation. Approximately 29% of the wine was vinified in oak casks, and partial malolactic fermentation was employed. The wine was aged for 54 months in bottle on its lees before disgorgement. The dosage is 8 grams per liter.
