Pol Roger reveals the Brut Blanc de Blancs 2002
The 2002 Brut Blanc de Blancs is exclusively made from Chardonnays selected among the best « crus » of the « Côte des Blancs »: Oiry, Chouilly, Cramant, Avize and Oger.
Produced in limited quantities, this « cuvée » has been aged for 9 years in our cellars before being released onto the market.
The wine displays a nice crystalline pale yellow colour with greenish golden glimmers. The tiny bubbles carry an abundant and persistent foam. The nose is dominated by hints of citrus fruit (peel), revealing the elegance, subtlety and balance of the wine. This "cuvée" exudes aromas of small yellow stone fruits (mirabelle and greengage plums), quinces and white flowers (lime). On the palate, the texture is fresh with a mineral character (gunflint), providing a powerful body. The fine fragrant and toasty notes mingle to reveal a wonderful balance and a graceful harmony.
The finish shows a remarkable length, typical of the 2002 wines, as well as being both rich and full-bodied.
The 2002 Pol Roger Blanc de Blancs is an excellent match for fine food. It is the undisputed partner for simply prepared fish such as turbot or bass, pan fried or grilled, served with a Hollandaise sauce and fresh garden vegetables.
