2018 Champagne Pol Roger, BrutThis is comprised of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. The warmth of the vintage shows immediately on the nose, with prominent sweet pear and apple notes. There are subtle suggestions of shortbread and marzipan. The mousse is gentle and silky smooth, a hallmark of Pol Roger. The palate carries hints of redcurrants and raspberries from the Pinot Noir, along with a touch of lime citrus and salinity that Chardonnay from the Cte des Blancs provides.
