Pol Roger Brut Reserve
Pol Roger Brut Reserve
Pol Roger Brut Reserve displays a beautiful golden straw-coloured hue, as well as abundant and delicate bubbles. With a robust and attractive nose, it first delivers aromas of fruit like pear, and mango and then releases light flavours of honeysuckle and white jasmine, lingering on vanilla and brioche notes. Behind a frank and dynamic attack, the wine encompasses an excellent harmony and a pleasant freshness, whilst preserving some structure. On the palate, flavours of cooked fruit like quince jelly, and apricot jam happily mingle with fragrances of beeswax and acacia honey. The long-lasting aromas are composed of candied orange peel and tangerine, and spicy notes of cardamom and anis. Outstanding.

About This Wine
Pol Roger Champagne
Pol Roger made his first sale of wine in January 1849. The firm developed rapidly. From Aÿ, it moved to Epernay in 1851. As early as 1855, Pol began to favour the production of brut Champagne. He knew that this was the type of Champagne that the English preferred. By 1899, when its founder died, the brand had acquired an enviable amount of recognition. It had only taken about thirty years. On 23rd February 1900, a disaster occurred: Part of the cellars and the buildings collapsed. Five hundred casks and one and a half million bottles were lost. By this time, Pol Roger's sons, Maurice and Georges, were in charge of the firm. A show of solidarity together with brother's determination enabled the firm to overcome this catastrophe. Exports progressed and many crowned heads became customers of the brand. The emblematic figure of Winston Churchill left his mark on the post-war period. This British statesman was an unwavering client of the Maison Pol Roger: "The most delightful address in the world", he declared. Their prestige cuvee is named after him.
