The Pol Roger Vintage Brut 2012 is an exceptional release, widely regarded as rivaling the legendary 2002 and 2008 vintages. Launched in April 2019, this Champagne overcame early challenges of frost and hail thanks to hot and sunny weather from late July to September, which ensured excellent grape maturity and healthy bunches, despite lower yields. It underwent a significant aging period of seven years in the winery's deep cellars before release. This vintage presents a delicate pale golden color with silver reflections and a refined, elegant, and persistent mousse. The nose is fresh and subtle, revealing aromas of white fruits like peach, dried fruits, flowers, gingerbread, mild spices, and Viennese pastries. On the palate, it offers a neat and firm attack with remarkable freshness, balancing roundness and suppleness within a complex structure. Crisp citrus notes linger through the aftertaste, enhancing the aromatic profile of spices and fresh white fruits. Some critics also note ripe apple, pear, lemon, and hints of spice and tropical fruit. 【Exceptional 2012 vintage, rivaling legendary 2002 and 2008 vintages】 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This rich, full-bodied Champagne is an ideal accompaniment to fine dishes of distinctive character, such as chicken with foie gras stuffing, capon with morel mushrooms, or chicken supreme.
