Rose 2018, Pol Roger, Epernay

The 2015 Rosé is salmon-pink in colour with orange tints set off by the mesmerising display of fine bubbles. At the outset the nose presents a beautifully fresh expression dominated by cherry, raspberry and delicate rose petals. As it warms, notes of candied cherries and sweet berries bring a wonderful complexity that is continued in the palate. On first taste the 2015 Rosé offers citrus notes of blood orange that develop into generous and enveloping red fruit flavours.

For over 170 years Maison Pol Roger has been producing exceptional Champagne. Currently in the hands of the fifth and sixth generation, family and independence are at the heart of Champagne Pol Roger. The Pol Roger style is one of inimitable quality, purity of fruit and famously fine bubbles.

Champagne’s geographical location engenders unpredictable weather. For this reason, since their foundation in 1849 Pol Roger has observed the tradition of not releasing a vintage-dated Champagne unless the climatic conditions permit the production of grapes of outstanding ripeness. A vintage Champagne must, above all else, be a balanced Champagne. This balance depends on the right blend of healthy grapes, a good potential alcohol and correct acidity. The first criterion for declaring a vintage wine is its capacity to age. Devotees who have the patience to age their Champagnes are rewarded with a more complex and richer wine.
