Pol Roger Extra Dry, White Foil, Champagne, France 92
Thomas Parker MW, Farr Vintners, March 2025
Pol Roger's Brut Reserve, otherwise known as white foil, is a testament to the consistency of quality-driven winemaking at this house. The blend is equal parts of Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay with 25% of reserve wines. Pale straw in colour with a bright nose of poached pear, confit citrus, vanilla sugar and pastry dough, there is an airy ripeness to the fruit that lifts the aromatics with notes of white flowers. The palate has the same lift, with vibrant citrus blossom and silky white stone fruits, bolstered by cleverly judged dosage. The mousse is generous but fine, creating a silky mouthfeel. Touches of white strawberry come through, together with more notes of patisserie; this is classy, elegant Champagne. Seamless, moreish and finishing with refreshing acidity, it is easy to see why this cuvée from Pol has such a fantastic reputation.
