Tasted over Christmas 2024. My first time trying Pol Roger, and a really great experience – this was a tick above many of the Grandes Marques and I found it to be quite refined. I suspect the dosage is fairly high, since it was so very drinkable, but no complaints from me! — 2 days ago

Good concentration. Herb and blueberry notes is on the surface. Balanced sweetness, spiciness and acidity. Xavier Vignon Châteauneuf du Pape Rouge Cuvée Anonyme 19 @1760, domaine, 241216 — a month ago

An underrated producer, in my opinion, though my first time with the Heri-Hodie cuvée.

100% Pinot meunièr; perpetual reserve in stainless since 1995; 3g/l dosage; disgorged March 2023

I’ve said it before, but meunièr can really strut its stuff via perpetual reserve/solera style. The natural fruit forward tendency of the grape with the oxidative character of the aging profile marry really well. My benchmarks for this style are Mousse Fils L’Or de Eugene and Delouvin’s Perpetual…both of those show a bit more richness and spiced cider, whereas the stainless steel here provides a brighter lift. Needed a few hours in bottle to open, lots of red apple, yellow citrus and orange zest, and cinnamon aromatically. Trending toward golden apple and pear on the palate, this has a kiss of honeyed richness on the mid-palate before the limestone mineral takes over at the finish. Tasty. — 2 months ago

Crisp but still with good body, an interesting contrast to the richer Drouhin. — a month ago

Almost 2 years since the last bottle from this case. Very similar to what I wrote then. Not very aromatic, but enjoyable cigar box and menthol and earthy. — a month ago
