2015 Pol Roger Vintage Champagne
A blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay sourced from 20 Grands and Premiers crus vineyards in the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs. Pours with a generous over flowing mousse that holds well over a pale straw coloured base that has pale gold tinged edges. Rising to the surface is an exceptionally fine bead that shows great persistence. Intense citrus and yeast lees aromas intermingle with baked bread, traces of cashew, brioche and chalk. Airy flavours of pear, baked bread and yeast lees glide across the palate with some delicate cashew, nougat and chalk characters lining the back half. Creamy edged, it finishes dry, crisp and mouth-wateringly long.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 12.5%

Lots of spicy apple with sliced lemons and pears and hints of stone. Full-bodied with soft and layered bubbles that caress your palate. Dusty and succulent. Creamy finish. Drink or hold.
