Champagne’s geographical location engenders capricious weather. For this reason, since their foundation in 1849, Pol Roger has observed the tradition of not releasing a vintage-dated champagne unless the climatic conditions permit the production of grapes of outstanding ripeness. A vintage champagne must, above all else, be a balanced champagne. This balance depends on the right blend of healthy grapes, a good potential alcohol, and correct acidity. The first criterion for declaring a vintage wine is its capacity to age. Devotees who have the patience to age their champagnes are rewarded with a more complex and richer wine.

Palate

The palate is characterized by its roundness and volume while presenting a beautiful aromatic freshness. It has the breadth and length for which Pol Roger is renowned. In line with the nose, the palate has notes of pastry, which gives it a lot of character. e nish is a little tangy with hints of lemon and citrus, which leave a nice sensation of freshness and foreshadows promising ageing potential.

Food Pairing

Pair with rich, savoury dishes like roasted chicken, seared scallops, or a creamy mushroom risotto to complement its notes of pastry, citrus, and toasted nuts.

”The rounded generosity of the ripe 2018 season sits comfortably in the precision of Pol Roger, capturing the crunch of chardonnay and the glossy allure of pinot noir. Red apple, red cherries and strawberries are energised by gentle grapefruit tang. The inherent phenolic structure of this warm season has been well managed. It upholds accuracy, precision, persistence and allure. This is a generous season to drink in its youth over the coming years.”
