2013 Pol Roger Brut Vintage Champagne

We have been lucky enough to get our hands on an allocation of the stunning Pol Roger Vintage 2013 Champagne, beautifully packaged in individual gift boxes. We will be offering the 2013 Vintage as part of our special Christmas case options (more information coming soon), but I thought I would give you the opportunity to get your hands on some in advance. You can purchase either by the case of 6 or as individual gift boxed bottles.

 

Here are a couple of tasting notes:

 

The 2013 Brut Vintage is made from the traditional house vintage blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from 20 Grands and Premiers Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims and the Côtes de Blancs. Produced only in limited quantities, the Brut Vintage 2013 has been aged for 7 years in our cellars before being disgorged and released onto the market.

The Brut 2013 is tightly knit on the nose. Lemon peel, grapefruit and white flowers. Taught palette, with bracing backbone of acidity, which slowly opens to a broad rich mouthfeel. Incredibly well-balanced elements and will certainly be ranked among the great vintages of the 2010’s. 

Pol Roger

 

Flaxen straw, with a whisper or rare gold, subtlety writ large on the nose, with orchard fruit, verbena and a discreet hint of almond and cashew evidenced. The palate, with air, transforms sourdough into pastry, green apples into spicy quince and kumquat, with spring flowers and shortbread in support. Preserved salted lemons and a whisper of cashew and buttermilk, restraint and finesse above all else but then the potential to grow and prosper is underwritten by a firm structure and an impressive purity of fruit
