Grape Variety: 50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay & (15% Pinot Noir - Red Wine)

Growing Region: Epernay, France

Head Winemaker: Dominique Petit

TASTING NOTE:
Pol Roger only produces the Brut Rose in vintage years. The wine is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay vinified white - and sourced from 20 Premier and Grand Crus in the Montagne de Reims and Cote des Blancs regions. The remaining 15% is Pinot Noir that has been vinified red - and then added to the final blend prior to the secondary fermentation.

The unblended juice undergoes primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a cool 6C. Each varietal, village and vineyard are always fermented and cellared separately until final blending. Secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle - deep in the cellars of Pol Roger, where it is kept until disgorgement and labelling.

As you pour this wine, a deep salmon pink colour fills the flute, highlighted by a fine bead of small bubbles. The nose has aromas of ripe fruits with elements of citrus fruits (blood orange), pomegranate and small wild red berries.

On the palate, a deep mineral character fine, with a subtle hint of vanilla. The wine is soft and smooth with a balance of delicate freshness and refined elegance and a precise refined finish. Dosage: 9g/l. Chill and serve at 8-10C.

CELLARING POTENTIAL:
Drinking perfectly well this summer; and over the next 2-3 years.

SUGGESTED FOOD MATCHES:
Perfect wine match with salmon, scallops, prawn salads, and fresh fruit desserts, enjoy.
