Champagne, FrancePol Roger Brut is often one of the lightest, most elegant expressions of the region and this bottle is no different. Given its ethereal notes the blend is surprisingly a third each of pinot noir, pinot meunier, and chardonnay. The nose is a mineral, pie crust, citrus affair; the palate baked apple, toasted biscuit, sea salt, green apple skin flavours. Creamy and smooth with quite a sleek but lengthy finish. Fabulous food wine.Tasted: 10 December 2015Tasted by: Prices:
Champagne, FranceIs there a more classic nose than Pol Roger Brut Reserve? Not for me. One sniff of the toasty, pie crust, yellow apple nose and there is nowhere else you could be but Champagne. A firm palate of pastry, pear, peach and lemon curd is woven with a stream of fine white florals. Moderate acidity carries to a stony, lingering finish. Equally split between pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay, and the balance is apparent. Drinking beautifully now.Tasted: 10 December 2015Tasted by: Prices:
