Pol Roger Blanc De Blancs 2012

Description

From the winemakers’ website: The Brut Blanc de Blancs 2012 is exclusively made from Chardonnays selected from the Grands Crus of the Cote des Blancs : Oiry, Chouilly, Cramant, Avize and Oger. Produced in limited quantities, this Cuvee has been aged for 7 years in our cellars before being released onto the market. The Blanc de Blancs 2012 is pale yellow-gold in colour with shimmering reflections, enhanced by a fine and elegant stream of lingering bubbles. The nose exudes notes of dried fruits and hazelnut, which combine harmoniously with touches of citrus and exotic fruits. As the wine opens up in the glass, it reveals aromas of peach and apricot. On the palate, the first impression is clear-cut and incisive. The wine beguiles with its balance between vibrant youth and rich maturity. Fresh notes of citrus are underpinned by a bright acidity. The aftertaste is persistent but delicate and leaves a lasting impression of great refinement. This is a champagne bursting with elegance. Excellent as an aperitif, but has enough structure to accompany fish such as John Dory, turbot or monkfish.
