About the region
Champagne is the world's most famous wine region for sparkling wines and is known for its cool climate and chalk-rich subsoil. This combination creates wines with high natural acidity, great elegance, and exceptional aging potential.
The grapes for Pol Roger Rosé Vinothèque come from select Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards, where chalky soils contribute minerality, finesse, and precision. The long maturation in the house cellars further adds an extra dimension of complexity to the champagne.
