Our Wine of the Month is Pol Roger Réserve Brut Champagne from the famous, family-owned Champagne House which is celebrating its 175th anniversary this year.  

Wine Notes - All the expertise of Pol Roger is revealed in its ability to reproduce, each year, a blend which is consistent in style and in quality. Elegant and refined, the cuvée Brut Réserve is the Champagne of all occasions. After four years ageing in the Pol Roger cellars, its style combines complexity, balance and distinction.

The Brut Réserve is a blend in equal parts of the three champenois grape varieties: pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay from 30 different crus. 25% reserve wines are used to produce this cuvée:

Pinot Noir (bringing structure, body and power) is mainly produced from some of the best crus of the Montagne de Reims.

Pinot Meunier (ensuring freshness, roundness and fruitiness) is issued from several crus from the Vallée de la Marne and from the Epernay area. 

Chardonnay (adding its aromatic complexity, finesse, elegance and lightness) comes from Epernay and some of the best crus of the Côte des Blancs.

Much favoured by Sir Winston Churchill who notably said ‘I could not live without Champagne. In victory I deserve it. In defeat I need it.’ Winston Churchill, 1946
