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.

Lovely bubbles for boyfriend’s birthday. A hint of brioche up front, with solid tropical fruit in the middle, rounding off with a medium body and tiny bubbles. The perfect finish. — 8 years ago

Ruby red color with a watery rim. Hint of large game blood, wet earth, and fresh dark cherries on the scent. Ripe dark fruit up front, sweet almost; followed by stern tannings and a dry finish. A young wine, medium body, almost light alcohol but with lots of character yet easy drinking. Unassuming wine, extremely enjoyable. One of those, great all-around, Southern Rhône blends... — 6 years ago

Raspberry, coffee torréfaction, black fruit and dark chocolate. Perfect acidity giving a full mouth feel. — 9 years ago

8.9

Vigorous nose of uber-crunchy cherry/grapey fruit and a dry gravel and granite earthiness. Dry and demanding in the mouth. Very stoney and lean right now but with quiet intensity of fruit. Long finish. This needs 6-12 months at least. — 9 years ago

My rating doesn't give enough credit for how easy this is to absolutely love. Pretty sure j could drink a whole bottle in short order. Might have to try to do so sometime! — 10 years ago

Even an astute som would think this was a 20+ year old Bordeaux in a blind tasting. The color is pigeon blood and the wine is perfectly balanced. The nose has lots of wet loam and minerality. On the palate this wine is mellow, well rounded and chewy with a hint of port wine flavor on the finish. — 10 years ago

Another delicious #rarecreature from the Forlorn Hope wine folks @Matthew Rorick This reminds me of a Cabernet Franc meets a Pinot Noir, purple floral and stone aromatics, with juicy fresh raspberry, cherry, a touch of savory and spice. #stlaurent — 10 years ago

Complex nose with dark fruit, cocoa, and graphite...palate is lush with plum, spice, and a touch of smoke. Generous tannins lengthen the finish...a classic CdP. — 11 years ago

St Laurent? Say no more. This varietal always steals my heart but I’ve only had it sparkling once before. Pleasant like a nice summer day, it’s fresh and lively, clean and bright. — 6 years ago

Really nice fruity gamay. Unfined and unfiltered wine gives this a unique body and texture for a gamay. — 7 years ago

Love this. It's a bubbles time of year. We stocked the fridge with these in half bottles. It's becoming a house 🍾 over here. Merry, merry to all. — 9 years ago

Smoky and earth on the nose. Rich plums with ripe, deep tannins. Quite a dry and tart after taste that is a sharp contrast to the meaty fruit initial hit on the palate. Thoroughly enjoyable. — 9 years ago

The Campari to Beauroy's Cynar, which I think is the opposite of critical predictions. This one took a few hours to blossom, unlike it's eagerly profound counterpart, but got to an awesome zone of beeswax and richness, with quite a mineral kick. Great wine! This bottle would probably beat its friend in a few years. — 12 years ago
