Valentines Day tipple and my first Pol Roger BdB. Fine persistent mousse. Lemon peel. On the palate ripe Grapefruit with honeyed nuances and Lemon curd. It does taste like 100% Chardonnay which it is but I often get the mix wrong. This is creamy, sumptuous and thoroughly delicious. The 2009 was released before the classic 2008 by many houses such as Dom. Lemony refreshment features over complexity in summary. One of the 1001 Wines.

The 2008 BdB Pol Roger has apples and lemon, and some Christmas stuffing characteristics too. Very open and inviting.
Bringing in the New Year quietly but happily, having spent the latter part of the day hanging art while a stew slowly cooked. Cara is 7+ months along so not really holding her own when it comes to Champagne, or any wine for that matter. Extra glasses for me...

Moved house today. Thankfully one only needs to do it on rare occasions. Unless you are a mover. Those guys worked like demons. A bottle of Pol Roger is an apt way to celebrate. The 2008 BdB is very giving right now. Zest and pears make for an attractive Champagne, though anything would taste great right now in my partially comatosed state.

The 2009 Pol Roger ‘Blanc de Blancs Champagne is a fresh and energetic effort that is shining brightly in its youth. The wine is beautiful blend of Chardonnay sourced from Oiry, Chouilly, Cramant, Avize and Oger villages. Upon entry the wine leads with bright white flowers that combine with sourdough bread and Japanese pear aromatics that all combine brilliantly in the glass. Lithe and light on its feet, the Champagne shows off shades of marzipan, fresh ginger and minerals that mingle with the bright orchard fruits on the palate. While delightful now, this will cellar well for the next five to ten years. Drink 2019-2029- 92
