critic reviews
An equal parts blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, Pol Roger Brut Reserve NV 75% of which comes from the 2018 vintage and 25% of reserve wines. This is the House signature cuvée accounting for around 80% of all production. It is beautifully fresh on the nose with delicate notes of apple tart, fresh quince, honey, a light toastiness and a whiff of elderflower. The medium-bodied palate has clean acidity and ripe orchard fruit with a little bit of toast coming through on the finish. A classic champagne style with an eight gram per liter dosage.
The current release of Pol Roger's NV Brut Reserve is quite dramatic, bursting with aromas of mandarin oil, honeycomb, elderflower, fresh bread and musky peach. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it's generous and textural, with a rich core of fruit, lively acids and a pillowy mousse.
(lot #591680 on bottle) Medium gold color, with a lively, energetic mousse. Toasty, leesy and loaded with orchard fruits on the nose, which also shows a waxy lanolin note reminiscent of Vouvray. Full and rich in the mouth, with flavors of buttered toast and ripe apple that are nicely supported by solid, harmonious acidity. Broad through the finish and long, with a late note of sweet pear.
