Champagne AOC Brut Réserve Pol Roger

What type of wine it is

Champagne Brut Réserve by Pol Roger is a white wine in a Brut style, crafted from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. It shows a complex, versatile profile, with a steady balance between elegance and vibrancy. The result is a refined yet approachable expression of the house style.

Where it comes from

It originates in France’s Champagne region, where the Pol Roger house has always built its style on finesse and harmony. The blend of the three grape varieties gives the wine a broad character, with fruit and freshness to the fore.

How it is made

Alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation take place in stainless steel. This is followed by secondary fermentation in bottle, in line with the champenoise method. The wine then ages on the lees for at least 36 months. This extended contact imparts aromatic depth and a very fine mousse, for a harmonious, persistent evolution.

Tasting notes

To the eye, it shows a bright golden yellow, with a fine mousse and abundant bubbles. The aromatic profile is fruity and floral, with hints of citrus, jasmine, and delicate nuances of honey and vanilla. On the palate it is fresh, balanced and dynamic, with a taut finish that is lightly spicy, highlighting its lively character.

Food pairing

It pairs well with sushi and sashimi, where its freshness complements the delicacy of raw fish. It also works with aged cheeses, whose savoriness it balances with acidity and mousse. It’s a fitting choice as an aperitif too, on its own or with light canapés.

When to serve it

Ideal for formal dinners and aperitifs, for any occasion that calls for an elegant, refreshing glass. It opens well at the start of the evening and accompanies the meal smoothly.
