Pol Roger Champagne Rosé Vintage 2004




It is no longer a secret - I said again several times – how much I like the style of this maison. Even in rosé variant, declinated in the Epernay cellars with 40 Chardonnay, Pinot Noir 60, added, before the draw, with a 15% of red wine - Pinot Noir always - manual remuage and seven years on the lees.

Salmon view and very fine-grained perlage, fresh smell and energetic fruitiness impact. Just enough time for a short oxygenation, the nostrils capture an intense and pleasing black pepper attack - the thread of this texture - followed by a clear evolution of fruit and red berries, from pomegranate to red orange of Sicily, from fresh strawberry to roasting nuances, light mineral touches and an amazing gentian root.

In the mouth there is all the sensual elegance, coupled with the aromatic expression of fine rosé. Structure, freshness and balance are the three fundamental pillars of this bowl, exemplary similarity of taste and smell. Straight and bittering sips, sharp mineral stretch, with peals of licorice and coffee, spice and even copious gentian.

Personality and character, in a pink dress.
