Winemaker Notes
A crystal-clear appearance with silvery tints complements the delicate bubbles. Initially shy on the nose, the wine reveals a fine minerality (chalk and flint) with notes of white flowers, yellow cherries and dried nuts. On aeration, aromas of citrus, exotic fruits and cocoa butter come together to complete the whole. The bouquet is very fine, direct and pure. On entry to the palate, the wine is crisp and exceptionally fresh. The texture of this Blanc de Blancs 2016 is delicate and almost crunchy. It reveals a pronounced minerality with subtle hints of citrus zest (lemon and orange) and toasted overtones. The saline finish is long and persistent. Sustained by a remarkable freshness that creates a graceful backbone throughout, this finely balanced champagne shows great promise.
About Winery
Champagne Pol Roger was founded in 1849 in Épernay, France, by a 17-year-old Pol Roger, who began by selling wine and soon focused on producing drier, brut styles favored in Britain. The independent, family-run house survived major historical crises and became famously known as the favorite champagne of Winston Churchill.
