Pol Roger's Rich Demi-Sec is a masterful homage to the historical preferences of the 19th century, when sweeter Champagnes reigned supreme in the grand salons of Europe. Crafted from an equal blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay sourced from approximately 30 different crus, this cuv e shares the same base structure as the house's iconic Brut R serve. The defining feature is its dosage of around 34 grams per liter, added after a minimum of four years of aging in the deep, cold chalk cellars of pernay. This sweetness is beautifully counterbalanced by the natural, crisp acidity of the Champagne terroir, creating a remarkably harmonious, velvety texture with notes of honey, stone fruits, and warm brioche.
