Louis Roederer Brut Rose Late Release Vintage 1998

Description

Product Description: Fruit, texture and lift in complete alignment. Louis Roederer Rose Late Release 1998 delivers a bold and expressive style, driven by ripe Pinot Noir and framed by precision. The 1998 season was warm and even, producing fruit with intensity and generosity. Harvested from the La Riviere estate, this rose reflects Roederer’s detailed infusion method, where Pinot Noir is macerated with Chardonnay juice to build integration and minerality. Ageing in cellar until late release has rounded its form without dulling its structure. Vinous and immediately expressive, the 1998 is textural and layered, its red fruit softened by time, its savoury notes gaining clarity. The finish brings a gentle bitterness, balancing the wine’s depth with freshness. Tasting Notes NOSE Chalk, Cherry, Almond Distilled cherry and blackcurrant over chalk and roasted almond, with soft autolytic tones and floral lift. PALATE Juicy, Plush, Vinous Open and generous. Ripe fruit sits in a silky, rounded texture with subtle grip and bright acidity. FINISH Fresh, Bittersweet, Persistent Lengthened by ripe citrus and a light tannic edge that holds shape and flavour.
