Description
Pol Roger, founded in 1849 in Épernay, is one of Champagne’s most respected houses, known for its elegance, balance, and deep ties to Britain. Still family-owned, Pol Roger has long been admired for producing wines that embody finesse and richness in equal measure. Its relationship with the United Kingdom dates back to the 19th century when it received a royal warrant in 1877, but it was in the 20th century that this connection reached legendary status — through Sir Winston Churchill.
Pol Roger champagnes are distinguished by their elegance, subtlety, and harmonious balance. Great attention is paid to the highest quality grapes and the meticulous winemaking process, aiming to create refined and complex champagnes.Pol Roger non-vintage champagnes are usually aged for at least three years, while vintage and prestige cuvée are aged even longer, thus gaining even more subtle nuances and elegance. Pol Roger champagnes can be enjoyed both in their youth and after they have matured.
Tasting Notes
Richly biscuity on the nose, with steamed rice, fresh pear and citrus blossom complexity. Creamy mousse dissolves into red apple peel, lemon and stone fruits, with a depth of honeyed biscuits. The Reserve NV from Pol Roger is a blend of base wines from at least three vintages. With 6 months of post-disgorgement ageing, the wine is ready to enjoy now.[93/100 Points, Sylvia Wu, October 2021, wwww.decanter.com]
