The production of Pol Roger's Vinothèque Blanc de Blancs 2000 champagne
This exceptional cuvée is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes from the greatest vineyards of the Côte des Blancs. It embodies the purity, elegance and aromatic precision of this grape variety when magnified by very long aging in the cellar. Produced in extremely limited quantities, it is vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, with complete malolactic fermentation, then aged on lees for over 20 years in the deep cellars of the Pol Roger House.
The 2000 vintage
The year 2000 in Champagne was marked by a mild spring and a particularly sunny summer, allowing the grapes to reach optimal maturity. In Avize, Cramant and Oiry, the Chardonnay grapes benefited from ideal weather conditions, producing rich, structured wines with great complexity. The result is an intense and expressive vintage, both ripe and vibrant, perfectly suited for long aging.
