Falstaff

Pale golden yellow, silver reflections, fine, persistent mousse. Delicate notes of meadow herbs and yellow apple, a hint of melon and mango, candied lime, mineral nuances, inviting bouquet. Complex, tightly meshed, fine yellow tropical fruit, finesse-rich acidity, delicately salty finish, a great food companion, sure development and certain ageing potential.

Falstaff

Pale golden yellow with silver reflections and a fine, persistent mousse. Delicate meadow herbs on the nose, with yellow stone fruit, a hint of melon and mango, candied lime and some mineral nuances. Complex and tightly meshed on the palate with a core of fine yellow tropical fruit and a finesse-rich acidity. It's delicately salty in the aftertaste, with some blossom honey also on show. A great food companion, with secure development potential. (PM).

Falstaff

Bright, golden yellow with silver-coloured reflections. Complex bouquet with notes of fresh white bread, fine acacia blossom and candied lime, underpinned by ripe mango and a hint of lemon balm. Creamy mouthfeel on the palate, carried by the finest mousse, with a juicy, cultivated acidity and subtle, chalky-mineral depth. The finish is reminiscent of light salted caramel. Already matured in a noble manner, with certain ageing potential.

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

Pure Chardonnay given a rich treatment has resulted in a Champagne that is now mature. The wine is ripe, its mineral edge fully integrated into the white fruit flavors. It is well ready for drinking.

James Suckling

So much bread dough on the nose, together with green-apple and pear undertones that follow through to a full body with soft, creamy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Subtle and polished.

William Kelley - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

After the pillowy, chiseled 2013, Pol Roger's 2015 Brut Blanc de Blancs is cut from richer, broader cloth. Offering up aromas of crisp golden orchard fruit, white flowers and subtle hints of warm biscuits, it's full-bodied, broad and vinous, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids and a precise, chalky finish. In style, it's reminiscent of a somewhat more sun-kissed version of the 2012 rendition.
