Pol Roger Brut Rosé 2018 Vintage Champagne 75cl
The Pol Roger Brut Rosé 2018 Champagne is produced using a blend of 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay, before the bottling and second fermentation, approximately 15% of still red wine (Pinot Noir) from the best crus of the Montagne de Reims.
Each variety used to this vintage is kept completely separate until blending. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle in Pol Roger's cellars before hand-riddling takes place. The fine and persistent mousse that is classic of the Pol Roger style is owed to the depth, coolness and dampness of their cellars which lie 33 metres below street level.

The 2018 harvest year started cold with snowfall in February. The sun had emerged by April and this allowed for flowering by the end of May. Summer was hot and mostly dry, with harvest starting on 20th August. The lower night-time temperatures during summer helped preserve the grapes' natural acidity. In general, all grapes performed well, with lots of forward fruit.
Pol Roger Vintage Rosé is intense on the nose, with strong aromas of raspberry, redcurrant and blackcurrant. Furter, more exotic nuances of mango and papaya are also present. With time and air, more floral aromas of rose and honeysuckle dominate. The palate is sophisticated and impressive. Despite the obvious ripeness, the champagne has an impressive freshness.
The Brut Rosé Vintage 2018 is the ideal choice to accompany fish such as grilled salmon or even sushi. It also marries perfectly with fruit tarts and other fruit desserts; try pairing with a forced rhubarb fool, the sharpness of the fruit complementing the elegant structure of the wine.
