Pol Roger Brut Réserve NV — affectionately known as “White Foil” — is the emblematic cuvée of this prestigious, family-owned Champagne house. Crafted from an equal blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay sourced from 30 top crus, it perfectly captures the Pol Roger style: refined, balanced, and impeccably consistent. The wine spends a minimum of three years on lees before disgorgement, adding depth and creaminess to its fresh, elegant profile.

In the glass, it displays a pale golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. Aromas of green apple, pear, brioche, and subtle white flowers lead into a palate that is both rich and lively, with flavours of stone fruits, citrus, and toasted nuts. The finish is long, crisp, and beautifully poised — a hallmark of Pol Roger’s craftsmanship. An outstanding apéritif, it also pairs seamlessly with oysters, shellfish, poultry, or light canapés, embodying timeless Champagne sophistication.

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is one of the world’s most revered and expressive grape varieties, prized for its elegance, complexity, and ability to reflect terroir like no other. Native to Burgundy, it thrives in cool to moderate climates and is notoriously thin-skinned and finicky to grow, requiring careful vineyard management. In the glass, Pinot Noir typically offers delicate aromas of red berries—such as cherry, raspberry, and strawberry—alongside floral notes, forest floor, and subtle spice. Its light to medium body, gentle tannins, and bright acidity make it both graceful and food-friendly. Whether from the limestone slopes of Burgundy, the coastal vineyards of California, the hills of Oregon, or New Zealand’s Central Otago, Pinot Noir captivates with its finesse, transparency, and the ability to age gracefully, making it a favourite among both winemakers and wine lovers alike.

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is one of the most versatile and widely planted white grape varieties in the world, renowned for its adaptability to diverse climates and winemaking styles. Originating in Burgundy, where it reaches its most elegant and mineral expression, Chardonnay can range from crisp and steely to rich and opulent, depending on where and how it is made. Its relatively neutral character allows it to reflect both terroir and technique—whether aged in stainless steel for a lean, citrus-driven profile, or in oak barrels to develop notes of vanilla, toast, and creamy texture. Flavours often include apple, pear, lemon, peach, and tropical fruits, with cool-climate examples offering tension and minerality, while warmer regions yield fuller, rounder styles. From Chablis to Napa, Margaret River to Sicily, Chardonnay remains a benchmark for quality and diversity in white wine.
