2013 Pol Roger Blanc de Blancs Champagne

Other Reviews....
The 2013 Blanc de Blancs is another terrific wine in this range from Pol Roger. It offers up a mélange of apricot, honey, chamomile, dried herbs. The ripeness of the Chardonnays comes through in burnished tropical accents that lend an exotic flair. Drink this over the next decade or so. Drink 2021-2031.

Antonio Galloni's Vinous (November 2021)

This is really delicious and soft with ultra-fine bubbles and a creamy texture. The flavors are subtle with cooked apple, pear and pie crust. Medium-bodied. Fresh and delicious. So subtle. Drink now.

Pol Roger's newly released 2013 Brut Blanc de Blancs is very appealing, unwinding in the glass with scents of crisp orchard fruit, citrus zest, sourdough bread, pastry cream and almonds. Medium to full-bodied, taut and incisive, it's more chiseled than the richer, more concentrated 2012, with racy acids and a gently reductive edge, concluding with chalky grip. This is a real classic in style and should develop beautifully with age on cork. Drink 2021 - 2040.

William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (April 2021)

This expressive blanc de blancs indulges the palate with its creamy, lightly plush texture and bright and juicy acidity, a lovely canvas for aromas and flavors of ripe pineapple and apricot fruit, elderflower, lemon curd and salted almond. Drink now through 2030.

Alison Napjus - Wine Spectator (December 2021)

The Chardonnays are exclusively sourced from grands crus of the Côte des Blancs and come from the villages of Oiry, Chouilly, Cramant, Avize, Oger, and Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger. In the purest house style, this 2013 shows an exuberant, complex bouquet. There are pastry, dried herbs, spices, pear, orchard fruits and some autolysis aromas. Creamy, round and sweet, the palate is perfectly balanced with a racy yet chalky finish. Keep it in your cellar for two years; it will only get better. Drink 2022 - 2025.

Yohan Castaing - Decanter (October 2020)

Crisp apples and tight minerality come together in a satisfyingly ripe wine. It is young, showing its fruity side and only just moving to its future complexity. But this will be a fine, structured Champagne. Drink from 2022.
