NV Pol Roger Brut Réserve, Champagne, France 6.0L Methuselah

ABOUT THIS WINE

The Brut Réserve, often referred to as the “White Foil,” is a house standard-bearer composed of equal parts Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay sourced from 30+ crus across the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs. Fermented in stainless steel and aged for a minimum of 4 years on the lees—longer than most NV Champagnes—the wine gains both aromatic nuance and textural finesse. A moderate dosage of ~8 g/L balances the vibrant structure. In Methuselah (6.0L), the slow aging curve imparts additional integration and complexity, enhancing both freshness and depth. A versatile match for everything from oysters and gougères to roast poultry and white truffle pasta.
