Pol Roger Pure Extra Brut

Pol Roger Pure Extra Brut is a remarkably crisp, bone-dry, and finely chiseled non-vintage Champagne designed to showcase the house's master blending style in its most natural, unadorned state. Equal parts Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay are sourced from diverse terroirs, vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel, and matured on fine lees for at least four years in deep subterranean chalk cellars. Pouring a dense, shimmering gold color with a steady stream of microscopic bubbles, it opens with an aromatic, complex nose of rose petals, clove flowers, and green apple, giving way to deeper notes of bread crust, fresh yeast, and citrus zest. On the palate, this zero-dosage cuvée hits with a laser-like, linear precision, revealing a firm, beautifully concentrated structure where vibrant grapefruit notes match perfectly against a chalky, bracing minerality and a pillowy mousse before building depth into a long, incredibly pure, and mouthwatering finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs brilliantly with naturally prepared shellfish, raw oysters, a delicate citrus-dressed crab salad, or a starter of fresh crayfish drizzled with olive oil.

Cooked apples and lemons with nougat, light caramel and ginger on the nose. Medium to full-bodied with creamy texture from the fine bubbles that spread across the palate. Plenty of flavor but not overpowering. Drink now.
