Louis Roederer Brut Rosé 2002

Louis Roederer Brut Rose 2002

This is more a tasting vibe than a tasting note. Sloppy work I know, but I was at a birthday lunch and my days of scribbling descriptors and impressions on napkins are well behind me. A strawberry blush with a needle point bead. Quite aromatic too, but more yeasty and bready than anything from an orchard. The palate was pure and surprisingly soft; neither crisp nor dry, with silky acid and excellent persistence. I am not a big Champagne drinker, but could go ‘alf a bottle of this very easily.
