2018 Pol Roger Brut Rose Champagne [WA94][WS94][JD94][WE93]

"Fleshy and dramatic, Pol Roger's 2015 Brut Rosé bursts with aromas of plums, red berries, blanched almonds and subtle hints of tangerine oil. On the palate, it's full-bodied, broad and enveloping, with an elegantly muscular, vinous profile, its fleshy core of fruit girdled by bright acids and delicately chalky structuring extract. This is an especially gastronomic rosé from this house, and it should age with style given its concentration and depth." 

"A lively rosé, offering wild strawberry and cherry fruit flavors that are ripe and expressive, with notes of blood orange peel, graphite and leafy herbs serving as a pleasing counterpoint to the sweet fruit. Well-cut and focused, with a fine, lively bead and a minerally, smoke- and spice-laced finish. Drink now." 

"Pol Roger does not produce any non-vintage rosé. The 2015 Champagne Vintage Brut Rosé is structured and noble. The color is a deeply concentrated pink hue, and the wine is fragrant with fresh and dried herbs, wild raspberry, red flowers, and pepper spice. Dry and structured, this is a gastronomic rosé with a stiff upper lip. It is expressive, with savory notes of dried herbs, wild strawberry, and tangerine, along with a chalky texture and present tannins. This wine will benefit from time in bottle and continue to mature, bringing out more of its savory qualities and tertiary spice. Best After 2024." 

"This rich Champagne highlights ripe Pinot Noir that glories in its red fruits and structure. Just ready to drink, the wine has intensity and well-textured acidity at the end."
