Roche Lacour 2003
Double-Gold 'super-cuvée' of your No.1 Vintage Fizz!
Our exclusive alternative to Vintage Champagne, fresher and richer than ever, is back. With more flavour, more sparkle, more medals and even more acclaim!
Roche Lacour was already your No.1 Vintage Sparkler by a country mile, but wait until you try it now! The cuvée now has more Chardonnay and Pinot Noir than ever - Champagne's most elegant combination.
"Remarkable value" and only from Laithwaites. Decanter magazine loved the touch, naming it Sparkling Wine of the Month (the next month, they opted for £160-a-bottle Krug '96!). Krug and Roche Lacour have something else in common - both are oak fermented. An expensive technique (so rarely practiced) that's crucial for extra depth and complexity. Maybe that's why it's just won another top Gold at the prestigious Vinalies Show in Paris.
As top critic Steven Spurrier wrote in Decanter, "it has lively colour, discreetly sparkling with soft, creamy fruit, lifted acidity and a delicious dry finish."
