Pol Roger Brut Réserve is a harmonious blend of the three main Champagne grapes: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay. Each grape variety contributes its unique character, resulting in a well-balanced and complex champagne.

This exceptional champagne undergoes a minimum of four years of aging in Pol Roger's cool cellars, allowing the flavors to develop and mature. The result? A champagne that is both lively and refined.

Pol Roger Brut Réserve boasts a beautiful golden straw color with a persistent stream of fine bubbles. On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of fruit, honeysuckle, and white jasmine, followed by hints of vanilla and brioche. The palate is equally delightful, with flavors of cooked fruit, beeswax, and acacia honey.
