2002 Pol Roger Extra Cuvee de Reserve
Since 1849 Pol Roger has been making some of Champagne’s finest wines and is now one of the premier Grande Marques. Golden colour with lively mousse. The nose is a lovely combination of warm bread dough backed up with notes of lemon zest and slight floral tones. The palate is wonderfully smooth and rich with a slight honey character to provide a counter-point to the lemon and grapefruit notes. This is a significant step above their NV Brut and well worth the relatively small premium in price. 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from Montaigne de Reims and Cote de Blancs.
