Pol Roger, Vintage, 2016

Pol Roger is known for producing elegant, complex, and age-worthy sparkling wines, and has long been associated with sophistication and tradition, famously being a favourite of Winston Churchill.

The Brut Vintage 2016, a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, is sourced from the best Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs. This blend gives the wine both structure (from Pinot Noir) and elegance (from Chardonnay). Enjoy it with a wide range of dishes, from seafood (oysters, lobster, and scallops) to poultry, creamy cheeses, and even delicate appetisers like foie gras or sushi.

"The wine opens with a bright, elegant and charming nose which is distinctly Vintage Pol Roger in style. Alluring aromas of lemon peel, tarte au citron and freshly baked madeleines present themselves. With time in the glass, more savoury earth aromas such as roasted hazelnuts and marmalade develop, showcasing the many layers of complexity of this Champagne. On the palate, the wine has a firm backbone of acidity, balanced with the characteristically rich, broad Pinot Noir for which Pol Roger is known. A wine to be enjoyed now, and over the next decade or longer."
