Tasting notes
Proper red-fruit aroma! Plenty of apple and lemon sherbet too, and well-integrated biscuit and bakery aromas. Lengthy and mature on the finish, with quite a strong earthiness lingering. Powerful, intense and complete. (RH)

The 2012 Rosé is an attractive, easygoing Champagne to drink over the next handful of years. Crushed red berry fruit, spice and dried flowers are all nicely laced together. This is an especially understated, restrained wine for the vintage.
A rich yet very dry rosé with cherry, strawberry and strawberry tart. Hints of citrus. Full-bodied and very creamy with fine bubbles and a long, persistent finish. Focused finish, giving this form and tightness. Drink or hold.
Pol Roger's 2012 Brut Rosé continues to show very nicely, wafting from the glass with aromas of plums, red berries, brioche, blood orange and smoke. Full-bodied, vinous and enveloping, it's a textural, elegantly muscular wine with fine concentration and a fleshy core of fruit, complemented by a pretty pinpoint mousse. This is a charming, gastronomic rosé that's beginning to drink with style.
