With a brilliant golden color, the wine shows fresh and lively aromas of cloves and roses, with breadcrumb, yeast and citrus fruit notes. In the mouth, the attack is straight as an arrow, surprising after the mature, concentrated nose. The wine's firm texture puts into relief a sumptuous wine, fine and well-structured. The trailing aromas of honey and cloves come with subtlety, lending extra depth and contributing to its long length on the palate. It is a thoroughbred wine; svelte and shapely.

Robert Parker 92 Points "Straw yellow and with a golden hue in color, the Pol Roger NV Réserve Brut displays a brilliant, perfectly ripe but also fresh, highly elegant and refined fruit aroma on the nose; think of cooked pip fruits like pears and apples, but also quince-confiture and yellow stone fruits, such as apricots and peaches intermixed with vanilla, brioche (pain aux raisins), some nutty flavors and also some white floral notes. On the palate, this medium-bodied Brut is as round (if not pretty sweet) and fruit-driven as it is delicate, pure and very elegant. The mousse is deliciously fine and leads this charming and perfectly balanced fizz to a long, aromatic, stunningly dry and slightly mineral, impressively long finish. This is extremely well done Champagne from equal parts of Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay sourced in 30 different crus. This Réserve includes 25% of reserve wines and was dosed with nine grams per liter."
