Pol Roger Vintage Champagne 2019

"2019 is one of those rare years when all the elements came together perfectly. Nature simultaneously delivered maturity, freshness, aromatic richness and exceptional fruit health. This champagne perfectly illustrates Pol Roger's ability to craft wines that are generous, precise and profoundly elegant”

Pol Roger is a Rolls Royce of a Champagne - all about elegance, finesse, and a knowing, calm opulence. The floral, elegant, slightly citrusy champagnes of Pol Roger lead many to assume that Chardonnay is the dominant grape here, when in actual fact black grapes play a more important role. Pol have their own extensive vineyard holdings, and close ties with contracted growers, so they have absolute control over all aspects of the viticultural and of course vinification.  When Pol Roger was first awarded a Royal Warrant in 1877, the style was appreciably drier than most other marques, based on Pinot Noir and supported by oak which helped to improve longevity. It is more than 50 years since oak featured in any winemaking here, contributing to an elegant, very pure style which continues the popularity and appeal of these champagnes.  The Pol-Roger family and their cousins the de Billys still maintain ties with the family of Sir Winston Churchill, the most famous fan of Pol Roger champagnes. He even had a racehorse called Odette Pol-Roger!

  • Pol Roger Vintage, Brut Champagne 2019 - Magnum En Primeur (Case of 3)

    Sparkling | Case of 3

    Sparkling

    63.5% Pinot Noir and 36.5% Chardonnay exclusively from premier and grand cru vineyards across the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs. No oak is used in the winemaking at Pol Roger (this has been the case for 50 years!), so the purity of fruit is very much paramount, and further highlighted the natural brightness of the 2019 vintage. A Pinot-dominant nose of red berry fruits, pressed flowers, a mix of toasted nuts, and white orchard fruits that bleed into orange stone fruits and citrus, courtesy of the Chardonnay. Glorious aromatics, a wonderfully fine structure, and full of energy. This is a brilliant release, already delicious and will absolutely reward the patient. Drink 2027-2050
