Champagne Route
Product Information:
Regular price £51.00
Description
The definitive house-style, composed from 30 still base wines drawn from at least three vintages, and the three varieties of Champagne blended in equal proportion: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Pinot Noir contributes body, depth of character and life-extending tannins and comes from the villages of the Montagne de Reims – Verzy, Verzenay, Mailly, Ambonnay, Mardeuil and Louvois; Chardonnay provides the lightness, elegance and finesse and is drawn from Épernay and the villages of the Côte des Blancs – Cuis, Oiry, Oger, Vertus, Moussy and Chouilly; Pinot Meunier supplies youthful freshness, vigour and plump character with the grapes coming from the Vallée d’Épernay – Vincelles, Venteuil, Troissy, Damery, Vandières, Brugny, Chavot, Monthelon and Pierry.
Tasting
Appearance
Pol Roger Brut Réserve displays a beautiful golden straw coloured hue, as well as an abundance of fine bubbles.
Aroma
On the nose, the Champagne is dominated by white flowers, green apple, brioche and a trace of minerality developing into notes of honeysuckle and brioche.
Flavour
On the palate the wine has a remarkable freshness, whilst preserving a robust structure. Flavours of quince jelly and apricot jam marry beautifully with acacia honey. Notes of candied orange peel and sweet cardamom spice are long-lasting. The apéritif Champagne par excellence, but one which has sufficient backbone to be drunk with fish and even spicy dishes.
