Champagne Pol Roger Brut Reserve nv
A Champagne house that has a soft spot in so many hearts and as well as history.
"One of the great signatures of the region, its calligraphy flowing with elegance, panache and balance, the last reflected in the equal proportions of the three great varieties of Champagne. A flamboyant straw gold lustre, and an immediately seductive nose, encyclopaedic in its indulgence. Nougat, praline, white pepper, spice and nectarine were first to the page for this taster, but there is much more behind that, the sugar discrete yet edifying, the long yeast ageing responsible for a happy and altogether luminous marriage of power and finesse. Consistently excellent." Simon Field @ Decanter Magazine (at Winchester, 06 Oct 2020) 92/100
"The nose shows precise, chalk-driven minerality layered with apple flesh, white peach, and fleshy tangerine. The palate is creamy yet bright, focusing on pear, white peach, and delicate florals, and finishes with a clay-chalky note. A classic and reliable selection. — Anna-Christina Cabrales, WE 92/100
