NV Pol Roger Cuvée Brut Réserve

Pro Reviews

Wine Spectactor (WS)

A well-cut Champagne, with a zesty mousse, this offers a harmonious mix of crème de cassis, Honeycrisp apple, candied ginger and toasty notes, offering a subtle, smoke- and spice-tinged finish. Drink now through 2021. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 110,000 cases made. –AN, November 2018

Wine Advocate (WA)

The NV Brut Réserve, based on the 2012 vintage and disgorged after four years on the lees in July 2017, is very clear, precise and fresh on the nose, with bright fruit and delicate brioche notes. Blending equal parts of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay from 30 different crus and with 25% reserve wines, this is a clear, fresh, tight and finessed Champagne with an intense, powerful but also filigreed finish. This is an impressive, taut and persistent “White Foli” for many opportunities. Tasted June 2018. – Stephan Reinhardt

Burghound (BH)

(33% chardonnay, 33% pinot noir, 33% pinot meunier, SRP $50, 12 g/L). There is plenty of citrus character present on the green apple, floral and discreet spice wisps. There is good verve to the delicious and relatively rich medium weight flavors that are shaped by a moderately firm if not especially refined mousse, all wrapped in a clean, dry and notably complex finish that is definitely drier than the stated level of dosage would suggest. – December 1, 2017

Decanter Magazine (DM)

A blend of 30 different wines, including 25% of reserve wines, this Champagne is equal portions of the classic trio of varieties, combining to produce the traditional house style of delicate exuberance. White fruits with floral, honeysuckle notes dominate the palate. A minty freshness marks the elegant, long finish and its appealing fruitiness makes it ideal as an aperitif. Drinking Window 2018 – 2020. – Tasted by Yohan Castaing, December 4, 2018
