Served cold to offset where I think I drank the 2013 too warm the night before. Served with a filet steak. Great pairing as the Pinot noir notes really came out.

rapid bubble stream. straw, light gold, in color. initial aromas of brioche and yellow pear. opening to golden peach, cherry, plum, nectarine, lemon, orange oil, spices, mineral. creamy, lime wedge, chalk, on a lasting finish.

Interesting Champagne, a couple of years ago we had a comparison of the white label Pol Roger and this one. All agreed that the more basic white label (a.k.a. Reserve) is outscoring the Vintage.
This time to my surprise, the Vintage beats the Reserve by a bit. The roundness of the Reserve was a bit boring - but don’t get me wrong, both are super-sexy.
N. Elegant, Brioche, Almond but also herbs and mineralic notes (wet stone in the sun), nice complexity underneath
T. Boom! Really cool acidity (5 days open) and great complexity, still a curvy beauty with also some butter hints and oak, all very well built in!

Intens aroma med gjærsopp, kalk, sitrus, kjeller. Høy syre, sitrus på smak, med gjær og mineraler. Lang- finish. Fine bobler. Medium fylde.
