2004 Pol Roger Vintage Champagne

The 2004 Brut Vintage from Champagne Pol Roger is made from the traditional house vintage blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay sourced from 20 Grands and Premier crus vineyards located in the Montagne de Reims and the Cotes de Blancs. It is aged for 8 years before being disgorged and released.

An outstanding vintage Pol that pours with a superb white creamy mousse that holds well. Once dissipated it reveals a base wine of pale straw gold in colour possessing a very persistent and fine bead. The nose shows classic Pol Roger refinement and complexity with intense aromas of baked bread and brioche intermixed with fine yeast autolysis characters, toastiness, cashew and light citrus. Complex, delicate and refined yet at the same time rich and creamy the palate delivers mouthfilling flavours of yeast lees, baked bread and toasty brioche over a background of light hazelnut and biscuit. Clean dry finish. Outstanding length with very long and persistent aftertaste of baked bread, yeast lees, toasty brioche and light hazelnut.
Drink over the next 5-6 years (2014-2020).
