Champagne Pol Roger | Pol Roger Brut Reserve Champagne Balthazar 1200Cl

A Balthazar 1200Cl

The Definitive House-Style, Composed From 30 Still Base Wines Drawn From At Least Three Vintages, And The Three Varieties Of Champagne Blended In Equal Proportion: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay And Pinot Meunier

Pinot Noir Contributes Body, Depth Of Character And Life-Extending Tannins And Comes From The Villages Of The Montagne De Reims – Verzy, Verzenay, Mailly, Ambonnay, Mardeuil And Louvois; Chardonnay Provides The Lightness, Elegance And Finesse And Is Drawn From Epernay And The Villages Of The Cote Des Blancs – Cuis, Oiry, Oger, Vertus, Moussy And Chouilly; Pinot Meunier Supplies Youthful Freshness, Vigour And Plump Character With The Grapes Coming From The Vallee D’Epernay – Vincelles, Venteuil, Troissy, Damery, Vandieres, Brugny, Chavot, Monthelon And Pierry.

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 Aperitif Champagne Par Excellence, But One Which Has Sufficient Backbone To Be Drunk With Fish And Even Spicy Dishes.
