{"product_id":"laurent-perrieralexandrarose2012-eircqp","title":"Laurent-PerrierAlexandraRose2012","description":"\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1812, Champagne Laurent-Perrier remained a modest producer until Bernard de Nonancourt transformed it into one of the world’s most celebrated Champagne Houses. A towering figure in 20th-century Champagne, he became CEO in 1948 after a three-year apprenticeship at Delamotte and Lanson. Over his remarkable 62-year tenure, production expanded from 80,000 to more than eight million bottles.rrDe Nonancourt was a visionary innovator: Laurent-Perrier was the first House to adopt stainless-steel vats, to create a zero-dosage champagne (Ultra Brut), and to pioneer a multi-vintage prestige cuvée (Grand Siècle). Following his passing in 2010, the House has remained family-led under his daughters, Alexandra Pereyre and Stéphanie Meneux de Nonancourt, who appointed Stéphane Dalyac as CEO in 2014. In 2019, Alexandra’s eldest daughter, Lucie Pereyre de Nonancourt, joined the business to represent Grand Siècle around the world.rrToday, Laurent-Perrier stands among Champagne’s largest producers and is best known for its iconic Cuvée Rosé â€?the most recognised rosé champagne in the world. The House’s distinctive style is defined by freshness, purity, and precision, with a light reductive twist and elegant character its wines age with exceptional grace.rrFrom the experts of rosé champagne, Laurent-Perrier Alexandra Rosé is a rare and cherished wine resulting from a rigorous selection of the very best plots in the region. This unique prestige cuvée rosé is only created in years when the Grand Cru grapes of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay reach maturity at the same time. The pioneering soak-on-the-skins maceration process applied to Cuvée Rosé is utilised again for just 48 hours this time, with 20% Chardonnay being added during the Pinot Noir maceration for Alexandra Rosé. To do full justice to its rarity, Alexandra Rosé is presented in a majestically refined bottle with a label decorated in powdered gold.rrLaurent-Perrier Alexandra Rosé 2012 marks the tenth vintage release since the launch of Alexandra Rosé 1982 in 1987.rVintages to date are 1982, 1985, 1988, 1990, 1997, 1998, 2004, 2006, 2007 and now 2012 the 10th release.rrWeather: The 2012 weather has been hallmarked by many as very challenging but has created some stunning Champagne. Relatively low yields due to various weather conditions throughout the year. The winter months brought some frosts and hail which damaged the early stages of bud burst. August and September were very warm and this helped rescue and give the grapes a stunning maturity. rrTechnical Information:rVineyards: 100% Grand Cru | Pinot Noir: Montagne de Reims: Ambonnay, Bouzy, Mailly \u0026amp; Verzenay| Chardonnay: Côte des Blancs: Avize, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-OgerrGrape Varieties: 80% Pinot Noir, 20% ChardonnayrLees Ageing: 10 yearsrDisgorged: Spring 2023rDosage: 7 g\/lrDrink: Now to 2038+rrTasting Note: A super stylish and expressive nose with licorice and juniper wood giving spicy tones to the sweetly fruity, bitter cherry and strawberry candy nose. On the palate there is an explosion of flavors with wild, even animally tones supporting the intense fruitiness. It is still holding back so much with its tight, fine tannin structure, energizing tension and sleek acid line. This is a keeper with ages ahead of it.- Tasted by Essi Avellan MW\u003c\/p\u003e\u003csection data-liuqs-content=\"verified-context\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"site-brand-context\"\u003eListed by \u003cstrong\u003eFlowers by Richard NYC | Same Day Flower Delivery NYC\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"site-context-note\"\u003eFree Shipping on All Orders · New Store Launch Deals End in 30 Days!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"verified-product-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVendor:\u003c\/strong\u003e My Store\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTags:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skincare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42987979604053,"sku":"cs_66285","price":16.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/9630\/0117\/files\/5wfb5hs3plvd_c9e0ffeb-22c0-4407-8218-890a9a11680b.jpg?v=1789283749","url":"https:\/\/willowcreekspirits.com\/products\/laurent-perrieralexandrarose2012-eircqp","provider":"Willow Creekspirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
