Tasted by Alfavin
The Pol Roger Brut Vintage 2012 is simply fun and its charms are entirely in keeping with the house style: the fruit is tuned with chocolaty flavours. Yeasty bread flavours meet caramel and a hint of orange peel. The tingling minerals provide tension and energy so that it is not too rich. Drinking window: 2025 to 2040.
Vineyards and vinification
The Pol Roger Brut Vintage 2012 is made from 20 Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs. The cuvée is classic Pol Roger: 60% Pinot Noir is supplemented with 40% Chardonnay. The must is cooled to six degrees and clarified for 24 hours, during which impurities settle out. It is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at temperatures up to a maximum of 18 degrees. It undergoes complete malolactic fermentation. After the individual varieties and sites have been blended, it is aged on the lees for seven years.
