| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.7 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Edclr on 3/1/2017 & rated 94 points: Wonderful rose', great acidity, still fresh, perfect time to drink. (1515 views) | | | Tasted by df1962 on 2/17/2012 & rated 91 points: Brassy rose color. Very fine mousse. Toasty yeasty aroma with a feint raspberry note. Very fine bubbles. Toasty bread yeast with a touch of red berries. Nicely winey but enough acid/mineral structure so that you know it is Champagne. Nice stuff and holding up very well. (3995 views) | | | Tasted by KVM on 1/1/2011 & rated 90 points: Lovely darker colour. Lively and deliciously fresh. Happy New Year! (4111 views) | | | Tasted by Edclr on 12/11/2010 & rated 94 points: Tasted alongside 14 other champagnes. This was #2. Awesome balance, which for me is the hallmark of a great champagne. Very nice acidity, but also great fruit. (4170 views) | | | Tasted by Wrighty on 6/3/2008 & rated 86 points: Pol Roger - Probably the worst wine [experience] in the world (The Pawn, Hong Kong): Little nose, little palate. Lean and structured but disappointing. Hints of fruit later but.... (5259 views) | | | Tasted by MD2020 on 2/18/2007 & rated 90 points: Your head might hurt from trying to discern the subtle flavors--everything about it is slight, tending towards sweet without any dryness. It's like getting bonked in the taste-buds by a nerf bat. (3795 views) | | | Tasted by sdatl on 4/3/2006 & rated 95 points: Wow -- a creamy mix of strawberry and cherry flavors with a rich mouthfeel and crisp acidity; decadent in its rich fruity flavors, but structured and elegant at the same time; this was the Champagne I opened to toast my new home and what a toast! One of the very best Champagnes I have tasted. (2416 views) | | | Tasted by jrufusj on 3/3/2006: Spring 06 TAC Vendor Sale (Tokyo American Club): Copper and steel. That is, a nice deep copper color and that steely/irony structure that I love in rosé Champagne. This is somewhere between the steely-iron freshness of cold water and the rich blood-tinged iron that sometimes appears. That steeliness combines with light and bright cherry and white plum fruit to produce real pleasure. Bead is nicely small and unusually restrained, but it plays well in this package. I like most wines old, but this one screams to be tried right now. Of course, it will also get better! A winner. ($43.30 at bottle lot) (3020 views) |
| Pol Roger Producer website
Pol Roger is one of the few remaining family-owned grande marque Champagne houses. Their grande marque status was guaranteed at the turn of the century when about 20 producers banded together
to establish exacting quality controls for Champagne. The annual production at Pol Roger - less than 120,000 cases - is found in the best restaurants of France, England, and the USA, and is exported to
over 30 countries. Pol Roger also was the Champagne of choice of British dignitary Sir Winston Churchill, who once said of Champagne, "...In victory I deserve it, and in defeat I need it!".Champagne Blend"Champagne blend" is a classic grape blend that typically includes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and/or Pinot Meunier in any proportions.
However, this blend can also include Arbane, Fromenteau (Pinot Gris), Petit Meslier and/or Pinot Blanc as well.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

France - When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of consistent quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:
Champagne - The French region of Champagne (including the cities of Rheims, Épernay, and Aÿ) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity. Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and wine-making traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. Styles of champagne range in sweetness ranging from an extra brut or brut 0, to the basic brut to demi sec to doux; some houses produce single vintage champagnes and others produce non-vintage (or incorporate wines/grapes of multiple vintages), often to preserve a specific taste; combinations of grape varietals; and colors, including a rosé. There are several sub-appellations, including the Valley of the Marnes river running from Épernay west, Massif de Saint-Thierry north and west of Rheims, Valley of the Ardre, the Mountains of Rheims (between Rheims and Épernay), Côte des Blancs, Côte de Sézanne, and Côte des Bar in the South. Champagne wine only uses three grape varietals (cépages): Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.ChampagneThe vineyards of Champagne on weinlagen-info |
