Made from 60% Pinot Noir and the rest Chardonnay, with 15% red wine from Les Riceys, the 2018 Champagne Vintage Brut Rosé pours a bright but deeper shade of pink with an orange hue and is forward with aromas of ripe raspberry, rose petal, orange peel, and a hint of spice. Medium to full-bodied, it has broad shoulders and a bit of tannic grip, with a fine mousse that fades to the background, allowing the wine's more serious side to show off its style. Chalky and powerful on the palate, with wonderful clarity and a long finish, it’s going to move into its more savory side with another couple of years in the cellar. It will pair well alongside roast duck and through the end of a meal. Drink 2025-2045.

The Wine Independent

Sarah Mayo

Pol Roger’s Brut Rosé 2018 is a 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay assemblage rosé that is full of panache and intensity in every sense. A beautiful deep salmon-pink color, it opens with aromas of ripe red-berry compote, lemon zest, brioche, and honey-roasted pecan. Medium-bodied and infused with vibrant freshness, the palate is vinous and juicy owing to the 15% still red wine used in the assemblage. A very gastronomic style of wine with great freshness and weight, plus a taut tannic note on the finish. The bottle tasted was disgorged in March 2022 and finished with a seven-gram-per-liter dosage.

The vivacity and indulgence of a Rosé Vintage champagne

The estate

Founded in 1849, the Champagne Pol Roger House has perpetuated the excellence of its expertise and its perpetual quest for perfection for 5 generations. An essential reference beyond borders, Maison Pol Roger is the official supplier to the British Crown as well as to the finest Michelin-starred restaurants.

One of the last houses to still practice hand riddling of champagne bottles across its entire production, Pol Roger's uniqueness lies in its style, authentically expressing the full potential of exceptional Champagne terroirs.

The vineyard

Maison Pol Roger oversees an exceptional vineyard of 92 hectares of vines, including the finest plots of the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs, emblematic Champagne terroirs.

Winemaking and aging

Gentle pressing is carried out following the harvest. Alcoholic fermentation at low temperature (18°C) in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation. After blending and bottling, the second fermentation and aging take place in the House's historic cellars.

Produced in limited quantities, this Rosé champagne Vintage 2018 from Pol Roger benefits from additional aging of at least 3 months before release.

Blend

This vintage champagne 2018 is the result of a blend of pinot noir and chardonnay, completed before bottling and second fermentation with approximately 15% pinot noir from the finest crus of the Montagne de Reims.
