The salmon color of the 2006 Rosé Brut with its pink and orange reflections is already magic and most probably unique. And then comes the nose: less subtle and discreet, but fine and elegant, deep, ripe and fleshy, with raw meat, nougat and licorice flavors intermingled with pure red berry (currant) and cherry aromas. Can you imagine this Rosé is based on the Réserve Brut (60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay)? It is, but before the bottling and second fermentation, approximately 15% of still red wine (Pinot Noir) from the crus of the Montagne de Reims is added. This extraordinary Rosé Champagne is produced only in limited quantities and has been aged seven years before its release. Medium to full-bodied, smooth and fruit intense on the palate, this is another highly elegant and perfectly balanced Pol Roger fizz with a beautiful Pinot perfume in the finish. This is very sensual though complex Champagne that covers your tongue with pink silk. If you don't mind, I'd prefer to call this an excitingly erotic Champagne that I would love to drink on its own, but in any case not alone.

Bright, with vibrant acidity and a lively, lightly creamy mousse framing prettily spiced flavors of wild cherry, damson plum, pastry, candied ginger and blood orange granita. Offers a persistent, spiced finish. Drink now through 2026. 300 cases imported. –AN
Producer
Pol Roger
One of the rare remaining family-run Grandes Marques Champagne houses, Pol Roger was founded in 1849. Today, while the sizable estate attracts global attention, historically, big names such as Winston Churchill, were among their most loyal collectors. To commemorate his passion for Champagne, about ten years after his passing, Pol Roger even crafted a cuvée in his honor, the impressive prestige Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill Champagne. Renowned for its lacy elegance and complexity, the house produces a non-vintage Brut Réserve that is consistently good. As well as a vintage Brut, and Brut Rosé that are a bit more complex and structured wines. Like all the wines here, delicacy and refined intensity are displayed more than weight, the Blanc de Blancs is a first-class pure Chardonnay.
