Pol Roger Vintage Brut 2013 discount

Description

The Brut Vintage 2013 from Champagne Pol Roger is made from the traditional house vintage blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from 20 Grands and Premiers crus vineyards in the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs. Produced only in limited quantities the Brut Vintage 2013 has been aged for 7 years in our cellars before being disgorged and released onto the market.The 2013 Brut Vintage displays an enticing pale golden hue underpinned by a vivid and elegant cord.The nose immediately exudes a complex bouquet of almond, cashew nut, small candied seeds, harmoniously counterbalanced by its vibrant sensation of youth and lightness mingling with mineral and floral fragrances.Then as the wine opens up in the glass, the scents of toast and Viennese pastries reveal all their richness and intensity.The mouth tingles under its seductive attack, crisp, fresh, acidulous, and yet full of roundness and suppleness.Then comes a long lasting intense aftertaste with hints of white flowers. This complex body gradually becomes more refined to offer a creamy texture reminiscent of pastry and toasted aromas, to finish with an exquisite salinity.

Very much in the ripe Pol Roger style, this Champagne is just approaching maturity. With its balance of crisp minerality and richness, it is a great wine from a medium-quality vintage. Although the wine is ready to drink, its style says that it will age further and could be enjoyed when it has become more toasty from 2022.

Pol Roger’s just-released 2013 Brut Vintage is a beautifully chiseled, incisive wine that will appeal immensely to purists. Unwinding in the glass with scents of citrus zest, white flowers, crushed chalk and hints of fresh sourdoughs, it’s medium to full-bodied, racy and precise, with a nicely concentrated and tightly wound core, tangy acids and an elegant pinpoint mousse. After the rich, muscular 2012 vintage, the 2013 represents quite a contrast; I’m not sure we’ll see its stylistic like again for some time, so readers with classically inclined palates will want to stock up-advice I’ll be following myself.

Expressive notes of baked black cherry and blackberry coulis are underscored by a minerally streak of brine and oyster shell in this focused Champagne, which is firmed by lemony acidity and balanced and enriched by hints of crystallized honey, grilled nut and toast. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2030. 500 cases imported.
