Tasting Notes

Jancis Robinson Jancis Robinson - 20 Jul 25
Specially labelled before release for the wedding of Sonya and Paulo Pong on 11 March 2012 and served before a range of ancient red bordeaux provided by Pong. As he commented afterward, 'we tasted the Pol Roger again 13 years and 5 kids after!' Deep gold with a hint of green. Tiny bead. Really savoury, appetising and convincing. The finish was dry but not drying out. Really impressive and vindication of my admiration of the 2004 vintage in Champagne. (JR)

Champagne

Champagne, exclusively from France's Champagne region, is synonymous with luxury and celebration. Made primarily from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, it undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, creating its signature bubbles. Flavours range from crisp green apple and citrus to rich, toasty notes of nuts and honey. Yeast contact in the bottle contributes to pastry and brioche notes, which are a key part of good quality Champagne. Top producers include Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and Krug.
