🏰 The 1998 Champagne vintage was initially mixed but has gained appreciation over time, with the best examples showing a good balance of acidity and sugars. Louis Roederer's Late Release Vintage Rosé 1998 is a rare expression, offering a mature and complex interpretation of vintage rosé after extended cellar aging. This Champagne showcases evolved notes of dried raspberry, candied orange peel, wild strawberry, brioche, toasted almonds, and a hint of honey, with nuances of rose petals and subtle undergrowth emerging with aeration. The palate is ample and silky, supported by vibrant acidity, revealing flavors of red berries, blood orange, grapefruit zest, and savory, tertiary notes. 【 Extended aging for profound complexity 】 🥂 This distinctive rosé Champagne is ideal for gastronomic dinners where Champagne accompanies the entire meal, tasting evenings among enthusiasts comparing mature vintages, or celebrations desiring a characterful and unique rosé. 🍴 It pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as lightly smoked salmon or tuna tataki, duck breast with red fruit jus, roasted poultry with morels, or aged hard cheeses like Parmesan shavings.
