NV Pol Roger Champagne Brut
Appearance: brilliant medium gold, delicate mousse.
Nose: some citrus, but marked with biscuity, yeasty aromas, including almonds, custard. Complex.
Palate: balanced acidity, very slight sweetness of taste (from dosage), but still dry. Lovely Pinot fruit coming through. Medium alcohol. Very well-blanced. Delicate mousse.
Conclusion: excellent balance and depth of flavour here. The assemblage is a third of each of the classic grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. This is one our favourite Grand Marques and the NV Brut, also known as ‘White Foil’, is capable of further bottle age. Very, very good.
Rating: 18.5/20
