"The golden color, dense and brilliant, is shot through with thousands of bubbles.
The fresh and lively nose expresses a fine, complex register of cloves and roses, developing into hints of bread crumbs, yeast and citrus fruit.
In the mouth, the attack is fine and straight as an arrow, surprising after the mature, concentrated nose. This firm texture acts like a carving, resulting in a sumptuous wine that is fine and well-structured. The aromas of honey and clove come through with subtlety, giving the wine extra depth and contributing to its good length." -Laurent D'Harcourt
The latest rendition of Pol Roger's NV Brut Reserve is based on the 2013 vintage and incorporates 25% reserve wines from the 2012, 2011 and 2010 vintages. Disgorged six months ago, the wine wafts from the glass with an alluring bouquet of green apple, brioche, pastry cream and buttered toast. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, impressively layered and complete, with a crisp but fleshy core of fruit, a youthfully frothy mousse and bright acids, concluding with a delicately chalky finish. This is one of the very finest—as well as among the most consistent—non-vintage brut bottlings from any of the Grandes Marques, and this release comes very warmly recommended. While it will be drinkable on release, it will reward some bottle age too.
