Pol Roger Vintage Rose 2019

The 2019 Champagne Vintage Rosé is a more exceptional wine in the range and is structured, compact, and defined, with ripe raspberries. It pours a rich pink but not overly dark color and includes 18% red wine from Hautvillers, Vertus, and Ambonnay. This wine is compact and powerful, with very nice energy, real structure, saltiness, and rhubarb, along with a refined, pinpoint, lively, zesty mousse. There is fantastic purity here, with clarity and ripeness supported by refreshing acidity, and it can age for two decades or more without issue. (95) JEB DUNNUCK

The 2019 is one of the best Pol Roger Rosés we have tasted in recent memory. Quite a strong, bright pink colour in the glass, the nose melds notes of red apple and fresh blackcurrant, a vivid fruit core propped up by subtle notes of brioche and malted biscuits. The palate, too, focuses on that powerful fruit core. This is soft, glossy and succulent in fruit but vibrant and lifted with acidity as we have come to expect from 2019 as a vintage. The result is a sumptuous but moreish, refreshing rosé that has the sweetness of red fruit and the cut that all great Champagnes need. Drink it with or without food over the coming 15-20 years THOMAS PARKER MW

The 2019 Brut Rosé is a pretty rich, heady wine from Pol Roger, largely because of the inclusion of 18% still red wine in the blend. This rich, vinous Rosé packs a pretty substantial punch. Sweet red cherry, rose petal, dried herbs and kirsch are all dialed up. This is a decidedly extroverted Champagne that captures all the radiance of the year. ANTONIO GALLONI
