Champagne Pol Roger Vintage Brut (in gift box) 2015
Champagne
Wine Advocate called the 2015 Pol Roger "generous and demonstrative, bursting with aromas", awarding it 94 pts. It's very fine, thanks to top-quality grapes and a long slow maturation on its lees. These lend sublime, complex aromas and creamy length.

The Wine
Founded in 1849 Pol Roger is generally regarded as one of the finest Champagne houses, renowned for wines of great finesse and style. Winston Churchill was a great ambassador for the brand and there's a special cuvée named after him. He was one of their most loyal customers, and even named a winning racehorse after Odette Pol-Roger, the wife of Jacques Pol-Roger, head of the firm. This stellar vintage Brut is made from 20 parcels of Grands and Premiers Crus grapes in the Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs, and aged for seven years before release. No wonder it has so much depth and complexity. The long creamy mousse is said to be thanks to the depth of the ageing cellars. Superb ripe fruit, spice and elegant minerality. A classic.
"Finesse, complexity and signature Pol pedigree writ large all over its beaming face"
