Maison Pol Roger's Brut Vintage 2015 signs a warm champagne of great finesse.
The year 2015 fits in perfectly with the continental trend of the decade, with a mild, wet winter and a hot, dry summer. Thanks to a cool late summer, the ripening process produced juicy, ripe, concentrated grapes - a spectacular vintage.
This cuvée is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from 20 villages classified as Grands Crus and Premiers Crus in the Côtes des Blancs and Montagne de Reims regions.
The wines are vinified and aged in stainless steel vats, then bottled and aged 33 meters underground in the chalk cellars of Maison Pol Roger in Epernay for over 5 years. Produced in limited quantities, each bottle is stirred by hand in the traditional way, before disgorging and dosage.
This Brut Vintage 2015 magnum reveals a beautiful golden color with silver highlights.
The first nose opens with subtle notes of fleshy fruits such as peach and mirabelle plum, mingled with airy touches of rose petals, pastries and dried fruits. It then evolves to reveal aromas of honey and apple jelly.
The palate is round and elegant, sustained by a hint of zest, sublimating notes of brioche, pastry, toast, licorice and dried fruit. The silky texture is accompanied by persistent vivacity through to the finish.
