France
Pol Roger produces some of the best value Champagnes. They blend equal parts of the three grape varieties from 30 different crus, using 25% reserve wines. Pinot Noir brings structure, body and power; Pinot Meunier ensures roundness and fruitiness; Chardonnay adds complexity, finesse and elegance. Pol Roger do not use any oak, but still produce a full-bodied rich style of Champagne.
With plenty of fine bubbles, this Champagne is harmonious and fresh. The flavours of apricot and tangerine balance well with the honey and spice undertones. A beautiful Champagne from a highly regarded family run house.
