Champagne Rosè 2015 Pol Roger

Pol Roger Rosé Vintage is based on our Brut Vintage (60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay) to which we add, before bottling and mousse, about 15% still red wine (Pinot Noir) from the best crus of the Reims mountain. Produced only in limited quantities, the Brut Rosé Annata 2015 is aged in our cellars before being placed on the market.

The must undergoes two débourbage (decantation), one in the press immediately after pressing and the second a débourbage à froid, in stainless steel tanks at 6°C over 24 hours. A slow cold fermentation with temperatures kept below 18°C takes place in stainless steel with each variety and each village kept separate. The wine undergoes a complete malolactic fermentation before final blending. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle at 9°C in the deepest Pol Roger cellars (33 meters below street level) where the wine is kept until the manual remuage, a rarity in today's Champagne . The very fine and persistent foam for which Pol Roger is renowned owes much to these deep, fresh and humid cellars.

The wine is salmon pink in colour with orange reflections, embellished with fine bubbles. Its initial nose offers a good aromatic expression dominated by red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, together with rose petals, all leading to a nice freshness. As it warms up, notes of candied cherries and candies add complexity to the whole. The palate is in balance with the nose - both of equal intensity and richness. On the palate it is fresh at the entrance with citrus notes of blood orange, then it is generous and enveloping revealing its aromas of red fruit. On the palate perfectly balanced, it offers good persistence. The character of this vintage is supported by power and vinosity.

The Brut Rosé Vintage 2015 is the ideal choice to accompany fish such as grilled salmon or even sushi. It also goes perfectly with fruit tarts and other fruit desserts.
