Pol Roger Brut Rose Vintage Champagne
Tasting Note
The wine boasts a lovely, luminous, bright appearance, unchanged since blending, and set off by fine bubbles. It reveals a delicate salmon pink hue with attractive pink and golden highlights. The nose is generous, immediately plunging us into a world of ripe red fruits (wild strawberries, black cherries) wrapped in aromas of rose petals.
Delectable notes of strawberry tart and fruit drops emerge, underscored by exotic nuances of pineapple and lychee, as the wine breathes and gradually opens up. Fresh and expressive, it shows both richness and beautiful complexity. The palate reveals a silky, full-bodied texture. In harmony with the nose, it offers a spectrum of fruity flavours (strawberry, sour cherry, rhubarb and gooseberry) lifted by a delicate note of bitter almond.
Its structure, defined by a lovely acidity, precision and tension, imparts both energy and finesse. The tannins are smooth, the balance is assured, and the tension is invigorating. Rich yet refined, this cuvée is full of personality. A long, elegant finish leaves an impression of freshness and finesse, heralding a very bright future for this champagne.
The Pol Roger Brut Rosé Vintage is based on a blend of our Brut Vintage (63.5% Pinot Noir and 36.5% Chardonnay for the 2019 vintage), to which we add 18% red wine (Pinot Noir) before bottling and second fermentation.
This wine hails from iconic terroirs: Ambonnay and Hautvillers, where the Pinot Noir grape flourishes, and Vertus, one of the rare Côte des Blancs villages still cultivating this varietal. In the early 20th century, this terroir was renowned for the quality of its still red wines, especially those produced from Pinot Noir. The red wine is selected at the blending stage, and its proportion adjusted to achieve the perfect harmony of aroma and structure. The primary goal is to bring out the purity of the fruit (red fruits) in an expressive, structured and elegant rosé, true to the Pol Roger style.
Producer
The house remains family-owned and has a reputation for producing champagnes of finesse and elegance with an extremely fine mousse which age very well.
UK stock receives an additional 6 months post-disgorgement ageing so it is ready to drink upon release but cellaring for a few years will reveal greater depths.
The aperitif champagne par excellence but one, which has sufficient backbone to be drunk with a variety of foods. http://www.polroger.co.uk/history-of-pol-roger/
The definitive house-style, composed from 30 still base wines drawn from at least two vintages, and the three varieties of Champagne, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier blended in equal portions.
The Pinot Noir comes from the villages of the Montagne de Reims and contributes body and character; the Chardonnay comes from Epernay itself and the Cote des Blancs and provides lightness and elegance; the Pinot Meunier comes from the Vallée de la Marne and provides youthfulness and vigour.
The perfect apéritif champagne which we never release until it is at least three years old.
