Pol Roger Réserve Brut NV is a benchmark of balance, finesse, and timeless craftsmanship from one of Champagne’s most revered houses, founded in 1849. Made from a classic blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay, this cuvée is crafted with meticulous attention to detail — from double-settled musts and slow, cool fermentation in stainless steel, to aging deep within Pol Roger’s 33-metre-deep chalk cellars where it matures on lees before hand riddling and disgorgement.
The result is a champagne of exquisite complexity and poise. It opens with a golden straw hue and a cascade of ultra-fine bubbles. The nose is both generous and elegant, beginning with ripe pear and mango, transitioning into white jasmine, honeysuckle, and delicate vanilla-infused brioche. On the palate, a precise and lively attack gives way to layers of quince jelly, apricot jam, and subtle hints of beeswax and acacia honey. The finish is long, polished, and interwoven with notes of candied orange peel, tangerine zest, cardamom, and anise.
Celebrated worldwide, this release earned an impressive 95 points and a place in the Top 100 Wines by James Halliday Wine Companion, as well as 92 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and 91 points from both Huon Hooke and Wine Enthusiast.
A sophisticated choice for refined occasions, this non-vintage Champagne is superb as an aperitif or paired with delicacies like oysters, lobster risotto, or aged Comté cheese. Its bright freshness, nuanced complexity, and elegant mousse make it a truly versatile and memorable sparkling wine.
95 Point Rated & Top 100 Wines James Halliday Wine Companion
"One of my favourite champagne houses. This entry point has one-third each of pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay from 30 crus, 25% reserve wines, spending 4 years on tirage. It has a flowery bouquet, terrific mouthfeel thanks to a hint of honey, and Meyer lemon cleansing the finish and aftertaste."
91 Point Rated - Huon Hooke The Real Review
"Very light colour with a youthful fresh aroma that emphasises fruit over aged character. Icing sugar/iced pastry aromas, fruity and delicate, a pristine style of Champagne with a dosage level that is all about widespread palate appeal. A deservedly popular style."
91 Point Rated - Roger Voss Wine Enthusiast Magazine
"The nonvintage Champagne from this producer always has richness from the Pinot Noir in the blend. This bottling also has a touch of toast, showing some bottle aging. Put the two elements together and this satisfyingly ripe wine is ready to drink."
92 Point Rated - William Kelley Robert Parkers Wine Advocate
"The current release of Pol Roger's NV Brut Réserve is quite dramatic, bursting with aromas of mandarin oil, honeycomb, elderflower, fresh bread and musky peach. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it's generous and textural, with a rich core of fruit, lively acids and a pillowy mousse."
