Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs 2008 75cl

Great elegance and finesse already on the perfectly brilliant and aromatic nose shows Pol Roger's 2008 Blanc de Blancs Brut, displaying white and stewed apples with fine citrus flavors and discreet chalky aromas. The palate is dense and citric, as if limes and lemons are squeezed on a chalky rock. The purity, power and intensity is as remarkable, as is the finesse and persistence of the bubbles, the mousse on the palate and the long, persistent finish. Dosed with seven grams per liter, this extraordinary Blanc de Blanc Brut tastes drier than the Réserve Brut, but reveals a perfect ripeness of yellow fruits. The finish is lovely aromatic and intense, but also clear, fresh, firm and absolutely stimulating. This is a great Blanc de Blancs from the Grand Cru villages of Oiry, Chouilly, Cramant, Avize and Oger.<br/><br/>

Ripe, pure and attractive chardonnay delivers a nose scented with peaches, lemons, cream, sweet pastry and subtly nutty notes. This is holding very fresh and still primary thanks to the stunning 2008 vintage. The palate's packed with flavor and a really excellent depth of white peach and lemon curd character. The acidity rules the finish and holds it long. Drink now and easily through to 2025; this is a long-term Champagne!
