Tasting Notes
Vinous 88
Aromas of fresh apple, ginger and cinnamon. Fat, frothy and round, with rather gentle acidity. Initially broad but not especially filled in, this wine seemed to gain in structure and density as it opened in the glass. Intriguing toasty nuance. Slightly skinny on the back end.

A wine that was surprisingly similar to the fruity and charming nonvintage Champagne when it was released on the market. In a very short time the character has gained depth we are already dealing with a classic but as-yet light and rapidly maturing Pol Roger. To be drunk in great, refreshing gulps. Because the house-style is intact, it will surely mature handsomely. No great depth, but still a good piece of work.

Persistent bead. Very bready, evolved nose. Savoury and dry on the palate. Another bracing style of wine. Very fresh and clean. Floral notes too. This elegant wine would make a particularly refreshing aperitif but it’s far from the most persistent champagne here. Disgorged 24 October, 2000
Anticipated maturity: 2002-2010
