I liked the 2006 Pol Roger Brut Rosé well enough to acquire a case of this wine and have been doing my best not to tear through my dozen bottles, as this wine is drinking with great grace at the present time. The wine is a blend of sixty-five percent pinot noir and thirty-five percent chardonnay, with fifteen percent of the former added as still red wine for color. The bouquet is deep, complex and absolutely à point at the moment, delivering a beautiful blend of cherries, sweet cranberries, lovely spice tones, blood orange, wheat toast, chalky minerality, gentle smokiness and a topnote of dried rose petals. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, crisp and rock solid at the core, with lovely mineral drive, very refined mousse, excellent focus and complexity and a fine girdle of acidity tightening everything on the long and perfectly balanced finish. High class juice! (Drink between 2016-2035)
