    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    The cool 2008 growing season has produced an array of superb vintage Champagne. As a general rule, the ‘08s combine the power of 2002 with the fresh taut energy of 2004. Needless to say we’re huge fans of the vintage, and this release from Pol Roger will undoubtedly go down as one of their greats. A worthy successor to 2002? We certainly think so… Precision and focus are the hallmarks of this release. It is exceptionally long and pure, delicious now but clearly destined for greatness if you have the patience to give it some time in the cellar. The fresher season combined with Pol’s rich, dry style has produced something remarkable, with high-definition flavours and the finest of structures. Truly a mouth-watering bottle of Champagne.

    Antonio Galloni,

    Pol Roger's 2008 Brut Vintage is bright and energetic, but also tightly wound and not fully expressive today. There is good energy to the orchard fruit and citrus driven flavors, not to mention plenty of acid-driven persistence. I would prefer to cellar the 2008 for at least a year or two to see what happens.
