How it tastes
White flowers, green apple and brioche with a mineral thread, filling out to stone fruit, nuts and a touch of honey. Even thirds of Chardonnay, Meunier and Pinot Noir.
The producer
Pol Roger blend Brut Réserve from around thirty still base wines across sites, varieties and years. The must is clarified at 8°C — a step unique to the house — and the wines are still riddled by hand, which almost nobody does at this scale.
Food and drinking
Good with seafood, rich & creamy dishes and poultry & pork. Ready now, and will hold for a few years yet. Serve at 8°C.
