2015 Pol Roger Brut Vintage Champagne

Pol Roger’s 2015 Brut Vintage is generous and demonstrative, bursting with aromas of golden orchard fruit, nectarine, warm bread, buttered popcorn and orange oil. Full-bodied, broad and vinous, it’s rich and fleshy, with a sweet, layered core of fruit, racy acids and a pretty pinpoint mousse.

Stylistically, the 2015 has more in common with the richness and concentration of 2012 than the chiseled raciness of 2013. It’s a beautiful bottle in the making.
