Pol Roger Brut Réserve

- On the nose, the champagne is dominated by white flowers, green apple, brioche and a trace of minerality.
- On the palate there are notes of stone fruits, a certain nuttiness and a hint of honey supporting the freshness of the acidity. UK stock receives an additional 6 months post-disgorgement ageing so it is ready to drink upon release but cellaring for a few years will reveal greater depths.
- The aperitif champagne par excellence but one which has sufficient backbone to be drunk with fish and even spicy dishes.
- Brut Reserve is blended from 30 still base wines from different vineyards, different vintages and the three main grape varieties which dominate the champagne region: Pinot Noir contributes body, depth of character and life-extending tannins and comes from the villages of the Montagne de Reims - Verzy, Verzenay, Mailly, Ambonnay, Mardeuil and Louvois; Chardonnay provides the lightness, elegance and finesse and is drawn from Epernay itself and the villages of the Cote des Blancs - Cuis, Oiry, Oger, Vertus, Moussy and Chouilly; Pinot Meunier supplies youthful freshness, vigour and plump character with the grapes coming from the Vallee d'Epernay - Vincelles, Venteuil, Troissy, Damery, Vandieres, Brugny, Chavot, Monthelon and Pierry.
- Grape: 33% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Meunier.

Light, bright straw-green in colour, it has good mousse, and a clean and vibrant bouquet; the flavours run in a green apple, pear and citrus spectrum, with a long, lingering finish, and perfect dosage.

Pol Roger Brut Réserve Is a champagne that I love for its regularity, its finesse and elegance. A very pleasant champagne as an aperitif, with very fine bubbles. conventional assembly and end, this is a classic that never disappoints and that pleases all the most demanding palates.
