Pol Roger Ros Brut Vintage 2012, 75 cl

Pale raspberry with fine copper glints. The nose is opulent and well structured, with red berries and a rich spicy depth. Taught, with a refreshing backbone of acidity, that rounds out to a sensation of bursting redcurrants. A lively finish that is impressively long. Savour now for freshness or keep for many years to come for a richer and more opulent wine.

Product Description

Champagne Pol Roger has been producing exceptional champagne for over 165 years. To this day the house remains small, family-owned, fiercely independent and unrivalled in its reputation for quality. Indeed, it is this quality which brought about Sir Winston Churchills lifelong attachment to Pol Roger, who famously insisted “In defeat I need it, in victory I deserve it”

Tasting Notes

Pol Roger does not make a non-vintage Rose, preferring to release only in vintage years. The Brut Ros Vintage 2012 is produced from a blend of 50% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay drawn from some 20 Premiers and Grands crus on the Montagne de Reims and the Cote des Blancs. In order to obtain its delicate colour and subtle nose 15% Pinot Noir, from selected vineyards in Bouzy, Ambonnay and Cumieres, is vinified en rouge and added to the blend prior to the second fermentation.
