Pol Roger White Foil Reserve Brut Non Vintage Champagne.

A Classic Champagne blend of 33% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay and 33% Pinot Meunier.  

On the nose, Pol Roger White Foil Reserve Champagne is dominated by white flowers, green apple, brioche and a trace of minerality. On the palate there are notes of stone fruits, a certain nuttiness and a hint of honey supporting the freshness of the acidity. Delicious!  

One of the exceptional non-vintage wines of the tasting, this is a class act, or "proper Champagne" as a friend of mine likes to say: powerful, concentrated, complex, toasty, yet very, very fine." Score: 93 points Tim Atkin MW March 2011 

"It's fresh and bready with zesty fruit on the palate, beautiful structure, long length and a nice complexity." Decanter 

An ideal apéritif Champagne, as served at the Wedding of William and Kate The Duke and Duchess Of Cambridge 29th April 2011, but also which has sufficient backbone to be drunk with fish and even spicy dishes. 

Brut Réserve is composed from 30 still base wines drawn from at least two vintages, and the three grape 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 Cête des Blancs and provides lightness and elegance; the Pinot Meunier comes from the Vallée de la Marne and provides youthfulness and vigour. Not released until it is at least three years old. Pol Roger White Foil Champagne receives an additional 6 months post-disgorgement ageing for the UK so it is ready to drink upon release but cellaring for a few years will reveal greater depths.
