2013 Louis Roederer Vintage Rose Champagne

A fluffy effusive mousse holds well over a pale salmon pink coloured base that’s threaded by an exceptionally fine bead that shows great persistence. Delicate aromas of winter strawberries, citrus and yeast lees flow through the nostrils followed by hints of brioche and subtle peach. Satiny in its mouthfeel the palate is elegantly detailed with winter strawberry, peach and raspberry fruits that are interwoven with citrus and yeast lees characters. Dry refreshing finish with stimulating acidity and a long refined aftertaste.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 12%

Other Reviews….
The Roederer 2013 Rosé has a lovely light pink color and opens with highly delicate red fruit and flowery aromas. The wine is light, fresh, pure, very delicate and stimulatingly salty. Very energetic and at the same time caressing. The finish displays pink grapefruit, blood orange, and lime zest flavors. Highly stimulating in its purity, freshness and citrus character. Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon finds it less vinous than the 2012, but he thinks the 2013 has huge aging potential. Disgorged in January, tasted at the domaine in May 2018. Drink 2024-2033.
