Tasting notes
Specially labelled before release for the wedding of Sonya and Paulo Pong on 11 March 2012 and served before a range of ancient red bordeaux provided by Pong. As he commented afterward, 'we tasted the Pol Roger again 13 years and 5 kids after!' Deep gold with a hint of green. Tiny bead. Really savoury, appetising and convincing. The finish was dry but not drying out. Really impressive and vindication of my admiration of the 2004 vintage in Champagne. (JR)

Magnum. Disgorged in 2014. Dosage 8 g/l. Tasted blind. Savoury, edgy nose with real energy. Youthful. (JR)
Magnum. Disgorged January 2015. 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, 15-20% grands crus and premiers crus. Floral nose, tight knit bead. Quite like the 2006. Fresh and tight and quite rich. Good bite. (JR)
Particularly tangy and fresh for a Pol Roger champagne with an edge of greenery. Super brisk and clean with fine evidence of autolysis on the nose. (JR)
