2008 Champagne Pol Roger, Brut

Description

Sharing some of the hallmarks of the superb 2002 at a similar stage – namely its tightly coiled, lemon freshness, this has added breadth and complexity. A classic Pol vintage blend – 60% Pinot Noir with 40% Chardonnay. There is a real depth and power lurking, with gingerbread, brioche, red and orchard fruit on the palate tapering into a finish of extraordinary length. This definitely needs at least a couple of years in the cellar to unlock the hidden complexity. Whisper it quietly, but I think this could turn out to be better than the 2002.

About this wine

Pol Roger

Pol Roger is perhaps best known as Winston Churchill's favourite Champagne. The house remains family-owned and has a reputation for producing champagnes of finesse and elegance which age very well. Pol Roger Brut Rèserve Non-Vintage, made from equal parts of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, is consistently one of the very best on the market, largely due to the high proportion of aged reserve wines in the blend. Pol Roger vintage wines, made from at least 60% Pinot Noir and up to 40% Chardonnay, are soft and fruit-driven in youth but, after ten years or so, develop great complexity and finesse. The Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill, launched in 1984 and made from a secret blend, is a Champagne of exquisite finesse and balance and one that rivals the very best of the region.
