✨ Technical Specifications
Pol Roger Vintage Rosé is a testament to the house's dedication to precision and elegance, crafted only in outstanding years. The foundation of this cuvée lies in a meticulous selection of Grand and Premier Cru grapes, primarily Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. To achieve its delicate salmon-pink hue and subtle structure, approximately 15% still red Pinot Noir from the renowned vineyards of Bouzy and Ambonnay is added to the blend before secondary fermentation. The wine is then aged for a minimum of six years in Pol Roger's legendary, exceptionally cold chalk cellars, which lie thirty meters below Épernay. This cold environment slows the secondary fermentation, resulting in an incredibly fine, persistent mousse and a complex aromatic profile of red berries, citrus, and warm brioche.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1849 by Pol Roger in Aÿ before establishing its historic cellars along Épernay's Avenue de Champagne in 1851, Champagne Pol Roger remains one of the preeminent family-owned Grandes Marques. The house oversees approximately 92 hectares of sustainably farmed estate vineyards across the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, and Vallée de la Marne, rooted in quintessential Campanian chalk and limestone soils. Pol Roger is renowned for vinifying exclusively in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with systematic double débourbage à froid and full malolactic conversion, preserving pristine varietal fruit and crisp structure. Aging takes place in deep, chalk-carved cellars reaching depths of 33 meters, where prolonged cool secondary fermentation produces exceptionally fine perlage, complemented by traditional hand-riddling. Celebrated for its historic British connection and royal warrants, the maison's portfolio is anchored by the balanced Brut Réserve NV and reaches its apotheosis in the robust, Pinot Noir-dominated prestige Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill, alongside its library Vinothèque releases.
