Tasting Note
One of the most eagerly awaited Champagnes of the vintage from this revered family-owned House. Wonderfully golden in colour, this is a brilliant, textured Champagne of supreme depth and complexity. Aromas of acacia flower, baked apple, honey and patisserie combine with delicate and appealing freshness. The mousse is fine and persistent, sustaining a remarkable breadth of flavours that are at once rich and refined. Replete with Pol Roger’s trademark creamy, biscuit and stone-fruit structure, this is a spectacular vintage Champagne that is fully balanced with vibrant acidity and an extremely long length. This will surely age with grace and charm.
Region Details
Despite frequent attempts, nowhere else in the world has succeeded in replicating the complexity, poise and elegance of a typical champagne. Its qualities are ascribed to the region's northerly, continental location to the east of Paris, to its ancient chalk soils and to its deep-rooted traditions. Its success is due in part to one of the most enduring public relations and marketing campaigns ever seen, which has served to link the drinking champagne on special occasions across the globe. Demand has the capacity to outstrip supply despite pushing production, and appellation boundaries, to the limit. Producers are now focusing their attention on special cuvées, vintage styles and new formulations to increase value rather than volume. A consequence of the rising trend of prices has been to encourage growers to bottle and commercialise their wines themselves, rather than to sell to the big houses.
