DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Pol Roger makes its Brut Vintage in limited quantities. The 2016 uses the traditional house vintage blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, drawn from 20 grand cru and premier cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs.
Each grape variety and each village is fermented separately in stainless steel, and the wine goes through full malolactic fermentation before the final blend. The second fermentation takes place in bottle in Pol Roger's cellars, 33 meters below street level, and the bottles are still riddled by hand.
It pours pale yellow with a fine, steady bead. The nose opens with dried fruit, cocoa, almond and coconut, then Mirabelle plum as it breathes. The palate is very fresh, with crisp acidity, lemon and bitter orange, and a finish of candied orange peel. Young, but already rich.
Serve at 45 to 50°F in a white wine glass rather than a narrow flute, so the aromas have room. Try it with oysters, roast chicken or a wedge of aged Comté.
Bottle size: 750ml
