Pol Roger Brut Réserve Champagne NV Review
Though Pol Roger is technically a big Champagne house, there are a few factors that set it apart from its peers. Firstly, the estate has been family-run for six generations, since its founding in 1849, making it one of the few top Champagne houses that’s entirely family owned and operated. And while many of the larger producers exclusively source grapes, Pol Roger owns close to 55 percent of the vineyards used to make its Champagne — about 225 acres of vines. The Brut Réserve cuvée has a powerful nose with aromas of pears, tropical fruit, and honeysuckle. On the palate it offers concentrated lemon curd, vanilla bean, and apricot with a rich texture.
