Stylish bone-dry bubbly with mouth-wateringly
crisp, zingy, nutty citrus fruit - the perfect Christmas aperitif. - Jane MacQuitty"

"Not sure where I’ve
been but I hadn’t tasted Pol’s Pure Extra Brut before this year and it turns
out to be one of the best zero dosage/non dosé (completely unsweetened)
Champagnes I’ve tried. Too often they have all the charm of sucking on a lemon,
but this has delicately honeyed peach and shortbread notes entwined with
mineral freshness and elegance. - Joanna Simon"

Expensive
but exquisite upmarket dry champagne, refreshing without any sourness,
leaving a clean but soft impression of yellow plums and pears.

"Still family-owned,
Pol Roger is one of the champagne greats, renowned for its fine, flowery,
traditional champagnes and adored by connoisseurs. Churchill once described Pol
Roger’s Epernay headquarters as “the world’s most drinkable address”.
Typically, even this house’s Pure Brut Nature, without a comforting dollop of
sweetening dosage, is sublime, all smouldering, smoky, creamy fruit, with a
lovely, lingering, beef-tea finish. Gorgeous now, greater next year. - Jane MacQuitty"

"Pol Roger is still my
favourite champagne house for pure, citric, sparkling joy – Pol Roger is one ?of the few independent houses left and one of
the few which has perfected the ‘Pure’ nil dosage ?style. The key is apparently to select grapes
from warmer vineyards and mature a little longer. A little drier than Pol
Roger’s normal Brut, but effortlessly elegant. - Rose Murray Brown"
The Times 3rd Aug 2013
"Pol Roger was Winston Churchill’s favourite champagne, and this celebrated house’s most exacting style is this no-dosage bubbly, made from equal portions of all three champagne grapes - chardonnay, pinots noir and meunier - from three different regions. Without that comforting dosage dollop of sugar and reserve wine, Extra Brut has nowhere to hide and its very fine pinhead bubbles and creamy mousse lead on to a magnificent, crisp, taut palate with lots of elegant, chalky, minerally fruit to the fore and a fine, smoky, toasted almond finish. - Jane MacQuitty"
