Pol Roger

Brut Rosé Vintage 2018 | Bottle 75cl - Box

Description

Produced in limited quantities, Pol Roger Rosé Vintage 2018 is a tribute to elegance and gourmandise. Aged in the House's historic cellars at a depth of 33 meters, this cuvée reveals all the generosity of a solar vintage, buoyed by delicate effervescence and dazzling fruitiness.

Precise blending for an exceptional rosé

Rosé Vintage 2018 is based on the Brut Vintage blend, enriched by the addition of around 15% red wine from the best Montagne de Reims crus. The final blend is :

• 60% Pinot Noir - for structure and fruity intensity.
• 40% Chardonnay - for finesse, elegance and freshness.

The grapes are gently pressed, then vinified separately before blending. Malolactic fermentation is carried out on all wines. Each bottle is stirred by hand in the traditional way, before disgorging and dosage. The champagne then rests for a minimum of three months before shipping, ensuring perfect harmony.

The 2018 vintage

2018 was an exceptional year in Champagne, marked by a hot, dry summer climate conducive to optimal ripening of the grapes. This generous vintage produced rich, powerful and well-balanced wines, with a beautiful freshness despite their solar intensity.
