Original price was: $191.57.Current price is: $172.41.

The colour is a crystalline pale yellow, punctuated by a very fine effervescence that is expressed through a delicate and very elegant string of bubbles. The first nose, subtle on the approach, is a little closed. It gradually opens with notes of fresh fruit, exotic fruits (especially pineapple) and white peach. The evolution in the glass is very discreet, barely perceptible. With aeration, there are notes of fresh butter and pastry cream that rise from the glass. The palate is characterized by its roundness and volume while presenting a beautiful aromatic freshness. It has the breadth and length for which Pol Roger is renowned. In line with the nose, the palate has notes of pastry, which gives it a lot of character. The finish is a little tangy with hints of lemon and citrus, which leave a nice sensation of freshness and foreshadows promising ageing potential.

Founded by Pol Roger in 1849 and succeeded by his sons, Maurice and Georges. Fourth generation Christian Pol Roger and Cristian de Billy were succeeded by Hubert de Billy in 2013. The house now owns around 92 hectares, mostly around Epernay including Grand Crus Cremant, Chouilly and Avize on the Côtes de Blancs and Ambonnay, Bouzy & Verzy on the Montagne de Reims. Generally Pinot dominant, the collection of wines from the Non-Vintage Cuvees through to the stellar Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill show consistency of house style and a pedigree that is the envy of many other grand marques.

Chardonnay is a white wine grape variety that is one of the most widely planted grape varieties in the world. Chardonnay wines are known for their versatility and a wide range of styles. The grape produces wines that can be very different depending on the growing conditions and winemaking techniques. Chardonnay wines can range from light-bodied and unoaked with flavors of green apple and lemon to full-bodied and rich with flavors of tropical fruit, butter, and oak.

The wine style can vary greatly depending on where it's grown, wines from Burgundy, France tend to be crisp and mineral driven, while in California and Australia, the wine style is often more full-bodied and oaky.

Chardonnay grapes can be harvested at different times depending on the desired style, early-harvested grapes will produce lighter and fruitier wines, while late-harvested grapes will produce wines with more body and complexity. Oak aging can also affect the flavor profile and style of the wine, with flavors of butter, vanilla and toast.

Chardonnay pairs well with a wide range of foods, particularly seafood, chicken, and creamy pasta dishes.
