Lucien Roguet No. 5 Rose Grand Cru Champagne

Grand Cru Rosé Champagne with Depth, Freshness, and Gastronomic Profile

Lucien Roguet No. 5 Rosé is an elegant and characterful Grand Cru Rosé Champagne from Mailly-Champagne, created with a focus on both finesse and versatility at the table. This cuvée combines the house's classic blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier with a proportion of Pinot Noir red wine, adding color, structure, and extra aromatic depth.

The result is a rosé champagne that distinguishes itself from lighter and simpler rosé styles. Here, you get a wine with seriousness, energy, and complexity, where fresh fruit, minerality, and spicy nuances go hand in hand. No. 5 Rosé is therefore an excellent choice for both aperitif and gastronomic pairings.

Aroma and Taste with Red Berries and Spicy Finesse

In the glass, the champagne appears with a beautiful salmon pink color and subtle bluish reflections. The bubbles are fine, persistent, and elegantly integrated, underscoring the wine's high quality. The aroma is intense and nuanced with notes of strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant buds, and freshly picked blackberries, accompanied by floral tones such as peony and wild rose.

With further aeration, more spicy elements develop, with pink pepper, black pepper, and subtle warm spices. The taste opens fresh and airy with a mineral core, after which red fruits unfold beautifully on the mid-palate. The texture is soft and precise, while the finish is long, fresh, and harmonious.

Crafted for Balance and Fruit Preservation

No. 5 Rosé is produced as an assemblage rosé, where the base champagne is supplemented with red wine made from Pinot Noir. This method provides greater control over style and balance, as well as the ability to preserve the pure fruit character. Some of the reserve wines are also aged in wood, adding extra complexity and structure.

The champagne matures for around 24 months on the lees, which gives finesse and a creamy mousse without diminishing the vibrant fruit profile. The dosage is kept moderate in a Brut style, so the wine's freshness and gastronomic versatility are preserved. This results in a rosé champagne with both charm and precision.

Created for the Table – From Meat to Dessert

No. 5 Rosé is an unusually versatile champagne that performs beautifully throughout an entire meal. As an aperitif, it impresses with freshness and elegance, but it particularly shows its strength with food. Try it with grilled beef, duck breast, veal, or dishes with mushrooms and light seasoning.

It also works wonderfully with mature soft cheeses and surprisingly well with desserts featuring dark chocolate, red berries, or fruit compote. The combination of fruit intensity, freshness, and structure makes it a strong gastronomic choice.
