Pol Roger Réserve Brut NV Review

Pol Roger Brut is an indulgent wine made from 30 different crus including a portion of reserve wine (25 percent). In its 160 year history, Pol Roger Brut has been the preference of the British Royal Family, including being served at numerous Royal weddings. It expresses both ripe and fresh fruit with well-rounded nuances of nutty brown butter. The zippy acidity keeps the balance in check with a finish reminiscent of freshly baked pain aux raisins.
