Founded in 1849 in Épernay, Maison Pol Roger is one of the most prestigious Champagne houses. It was founded by Pol Roger, a young man of 18 with a passion for wine. The house quickly made a name for itself with the quality of its cuvées and conquered international markets, notably the UK, where it has become an essential reference.
What grape varieties does Pol Roger use?
Pol Roger mainly uses three grape varieties emblematic of Champagne: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Pinot Noir provides structure and power, Pinot Meunier offers roundness and fruitiness, while Chardonnay confers elegance and finesse. The house is particularly renowned for its well-balanced blends that bring out the best in each grape variety.
What is the winemaking process like at Pol Roger?
Winemaking at Pol Roger is marked by a respect for tradition and a constant quest for quality. The grapes are gently pressed to Extra extract the purest juice. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by partial or total malolactic fermentation, depending on the cuvée. The wine is then bottled with a liqueur de tirage for the prise de mousse, before aging on laths for several years.
What are the particularities of ageing Pol Roger wines?
Pol Roger wines benefit from prolonged ageing on laths, well beyond legal requirements. This allows the aromas to develop fully and the bubbles to become finer. The house also uses manual riddling for certain cuvées,... See more ...
Cuvée Brut Rosé Vintage 2018 from Maison Pol Roger is made from the base of Brut Vintage (60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay), enriched with around 15% still red wine made exclusively from Pinot Noir from the best vintages of Montagne de Reims. This blending method, used before bottling, gives the cuvée its characteristic structure and aromatic complexity.
Produced in limited quantities, this cuvée has benefited from several years' extended ageing in the Maison's historic cellars, located 33 metres below ground, guaranteeing optimal maturation conditions.
Vinification and ageing
A delicate salmon color, with pink and golden highlights, and a fine, persistent effervescence. A generous aromatic expression, dominated by fresh red fruits (raspberry, redcurrant, blackcurrant), enriched by eXOtic notes (mango, papaya) and floral notes (rose, honeysuckle) with aeration. Ample and silky on the palate, with good roundness and remarkable length. The balance between the solar power of the vintage and a fresh acidity promises excellent ageing potential.
Ideal with noble fish such as salmon, this cuvée also goes well with meats Rosées (small game birds) and fruity desserts (tarts, crumbles), where it sublimates textures and flavors with its elegant structure and liveliness.
