The legendary Pol Roger Brut Réserve is an elegant and refined Champagne, characterized by a classic style that will appeal to both professionals and enthusiasts.
This Champagne is crafted by blending equal parts of the three main grape varieties of Champagne: ‘Pinot Noir’, ‘Pinot Meunier’, and ‘Chardonnay’. The latter comes from 30 different crus (the finest vineyards), and no less than 25% reserve wines are used to create this exceptional cuvée.
This Champagne boasts abundant and fine bubbles. The nose is dominated by fresh fruit such as pears, lemon zest, and brioche. On the palate, a lively acidity and vibrancy unfold. The wine leaves a long finish of citrus and a subtle hint of cardamom.
After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. All wines undergo malolactic fermentation, after which they are blended, and secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle.
Each bottle is hand-riddled before disgorgement and dosage. Following this, it is aged for one year on its lees, and then for an additional three years before release.
Serve at 6-8 °C with seafood, fried mushrooms; smoked salmon wrapped in soft-boiled eggs with permezan and toast; glazed beets with bread fried in sour cream cheese.
A complex, reliable Champagne that would show well in all occasions thanks to its freshness and class. Drawing on all three grapes (chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier), this has a complex grilled-nut and autolysis character overlayed across red berries and citrus fruits. Definitely a lot of reserve wine character here. The palate delivers lemons, grapefruit, peaches and mangoes in a refreshingly pure, fleshy style. The bright acidity, handy balance and tannins smoothly frame the finish. Drink now.
Straw yellow and with a golden hue in color, the Pol Roger NV Réserve Brut displays a brilliant, perfectly ripe but also fresh, highly elegant and refined fruit aroma on the nose; think of cooked pip fruits like pears and apples, but also quince-confiture and yellow stone fruits, such as apricots and peaches intermixed with vanilla, brioche (pain aux raisins), some nutty flavors and also some white floral notes. On the palate, this medium-bodied Brut is as round (if not pretty sweet) and fruit-driven as it is delicate, pure and very elegant. The mousse is deliciously fine and leads this charming and perfectly balanced fizz to a long, aromatic, stunningly dry and slightly mineral, impressively long finish. This is extremely well done Champagne from equal parts of Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay sourced in 30 different crus. This Réserve includes 25% of reserve wines and was dosed with nine grams per liter.
An elegant Champagne, with a smoky, minerally underpinning and subtle flavors of poached pear, toast, candied lemon zest and ginger riding the finely detailed bead. Harmonious, and hard to stop sipping. Drink now through 2020
With some bottle age, this nonvintage wine is beautifully integrated. Crispness accompanies a rounder, riper character, with green plum and lemon flavors cut by sliced apple and acidity. The blend brings together the three Champagne grapes in equal measure and reflects that in its well-balanced aftertaste
A great disgorgement of Pol Roger’s basic Brut, a blend that includes 25 percent reserve wines, this is a gracious, red-fruited Champagne. Though the wines go through malolactic, this emphasizes freshness, with a tingle of ginger and mineral acidity lifting the flavors in the finish
