Pol Roger Brut Reserve was the official Champagne supplied at the Royal Wedding on 29 April 2011!
A floral, pastry rich Champagne, Pol Roger Brut Reserve is blended from 30 wines from different vineyards and vintages.
The definitive house-style, composed from 30 still base wines drawn from at least two vintages, and the three varieties of Champagne, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier blended in equal portions.
The Pinot Noir comes from the villages of the Montagne de Reims and contributes body and character; the Chardonnay comes from Epernay itself and the Côte des Blancs and provides lightness and elegance; the Pinot Meunier comes from the Vallée de la Marne and provides youthfulness and vigour.
Nose: The champagne is dominated by white flowers, green apple, brioche and a trace of minerality.
Palate: On the palate there are notes of stone fruits, a certain nuttiness and a hint of honey.
Finish: The honey continues which supports the freshness of the acidity.
