Champagne Brut 'Vintage' Pol Roger 2018 (Confezione)
The Champagne Brut "Vintage" is simply the expression of elegance and refinement of the Pol Roger maison. It is the result of the utmost selection and enhancement of a specific vintage, which is vinified as a millesime only under optimal conditions. The "Vintage" from Pol Roger carries, already in its name, the unlimited charm of a story spanning 160 years and 5 different generations. They have alternated, continuously bringing growth that has increasingly refined the maison's touch, as if it were the brushstroke of an artist. In fact, the Champagnes signed by Pol Roger are liquid works of art. A name, a guarantee, and a long and compelling history. The Brut "Vintage" embodies the attractive and seductive character of the French bubbles, expressed through a language of excellence.
The "Vintage" Brut from Pol Roger is a Champagne composed, according to the traditional blend of the maison, of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. These grapes come from 20 parcels, all classified as Grand Cru or Premier Cru, located in the Montagne de Reims area and in the Côte des Blancs. Following a meticulous harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and the resulting must undergoes a cold decantation. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel containers, as does the malolactic fermentation. Only after these two phases, the parcels vinified separately until that moment are blended, and the base wine obtained is bottled to initiate the second fermentation. This occurs inside bottles placed 33 meters deep in the historic Pol Roger cellars. Manual remuage and a long wait of more than 8 years precede its market release.
Pol Roger Brut "Vintage" Champagne manifests its recognizable charm already through its golden color and fine, persistent perlage. Elegance and delicacy refine an intense complexity, which opens up to fresh citrus notes and sweeter hints of apricot and peach, before revealing notes of dried fruit and quince.
On the palate, its seductive character is expressed in the creaminess of the sip and in the full, soft body, simultaneously refined by freshness. It lingers in a finish that recalls ripe fruit. To add a touch of nobility to your cellar, a chapter of history told by Pol Roger cannot be missed.
