Brut 2015

The Brut Vintage 2015 from Pol Roger is made from 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from grands and premiers crus. It is produced in limited quantity and ages for nine years in the cellar. The bouquet opens with rose petals and moves on to patisserie, pastry and dried nuts, with honey and apple jelly joining later.

On the palate it is round and elegant. A light spice accompanies brioche, toast and pastry, joined by liquorice and nuts. The silky texture is carried by a lasting acidity that stays to the end. Serve it at 9 to 11 °C in a white wine glass. It goes very well with poultry and mushrooms, chicken stuffed with foie gras, or a poultry soup. It is sold in a complimentary gift box.
