The Pol-Roger family and their cousins the de Billys still maintain ties with the family of Sir Winston Churchill, the most famous fan of Pol Roger champagnes.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. Behind a frank and dynamic attack, the wine encompasses a nice harmony and a pleasant freshness, whilst preserving some structure. Drinks will be chilled in 30-45 minutes and will be kept cold for several hours, especially if kept in the shade. Pol Roger Brut Réserve diplays a beautiful golden straw coloured hue, as well as abundant and fine bubbles. A classic blend of pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot meunier from Winston Churchill’s preferred house, it’s light and crisp with notes of white fruit and a yeasty, dry finish.
