Pol Roger's Vintage Blanc de Blancs is a masterclass in the expression of Chardonnay from the prestigious Côte des Blancs. Crafted exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards including Oger, Cramant, Avize, Chouilly, and Mesnil-sur-Oger, this cuvée is produced only in exceptional vintage years. The house's history of meticulous craftsmanship shines through in their deep, cold clay-limestone cellars in Épernay, where the wine undergoes a slow secondary fermentation and extended aging on its lees for at least six to seven years. This patient process, combined with traditional hand-riddling, imparts a remarkable creamy texture, vibrant minerality, and complex notes of white flowers, fresh brioche, and citrus. Historically, Pol Roger has been synonymous with elegance, favored by British royalty and Winston Churchill alike, and this Blanc de Blancs represents the pinnacle of their single-varietal mastery.
