Pol Roger Reserve Brut Champagne NV
Pol Roger Reserve Brut Champagne NV
Sparkling Wine | NV | France, Champagne | 12.5%
Beautifully elegant Champagne.On the nose, the Champagne is dominated by white flowers, green apple, brioche and a trace of minerality. On the palate there are notes of stone fruits, a certain nuttiness and a hint of honey supporting the freshness of the acidity. UK stock receives an additional 6 months post-disgorgement ageing so it is ready to drink upon release but cellaring for a few years will reveal greater depths. The apéritif Champagne par excellence, but one which has sufficient backbone to be drunk with fish and even spicy dishes.

Production Notes
Production Notes
Once harvested, the grapes are immediately and delicately pressed. The must undergoes a first débourbage (settling) at the press house and a second in the winery, à froid (at 6°C) over a 24 hour period. The alcoholic fermentation takes place at a low temperature (18°C) in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, with each variety and the production of each village kept separate until final blending. All wines go through a malolactic fermentation. After tasting, blending and bottling, the secondary fermentation (prise de mousse) and maturation takes place in the cool atmosphere of the cellars located 33 metres below street level for at least four years on the lees. Each bottle is given a traditional remuage (hand riddling) before disgorging and dosage, and the wines rest for a minimum of nine months before being released.
