Vintage Character Champagne Pol Roger Rosé 2019 is a vintage Brut rosé Champagne from the Champagne appellation, produced only in years the house considers worthy of declaration. The 2019 growing season in Champagne combined warmth with enough freshness to deliver ripe fruit and clear definition, making it a strong vintage with both charm and structure. Drawn from the house’s long-established mosaic of village sources, including chalk-rich sites that are central to Champagne’s identity, this cuvée pairs Pinot Noir depth with Chardonnay lift, while the region’s cool climate preserves the tension and fine mousse that define polished vintage rosé.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The nose opens on wild strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant, followed by pink grapefruit, rose petal and a discreet touch of brioche. On the palate, it is brisk yet layered, with creamy mousse, vivid acidity and a refined texture that carries red-berry fruit, pastry notes and a gentle chalky snap into a long, precise finish. It is a versatile gastronomic Champagne: try it with duck breast and cherry glaze, lobster rolls, or tuna tataki.
Winery Background Founded in 1849 and still family owned, Pol Roger remains one of Champagne’s most respected Grandes Marques, celebrated for a style that privileges elegance, balance and longevity over overt richness. The house is based in Épernay and is especially known for its deep, cool cellars, conditions that support slow maturation and finesse. Fruit is sourced from top village holdings and long-term grower partners, with vinification conducted parcel by parcel to preserve clarity of origin; the vintage rosé is traditionally built from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with a small addition of still red Pinot Noir from Bouzy, then aged extensively on the lees before release. That combination of patience, precision and consistency makes Pol Roger a benchmark for classic vintage Champagne.
