Blanc de blancs is a prestigious style of Champagne, and the Pol Roger Blanc de Blancs 2016 exemplifies this with its exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Pol Roger is renowned as one of Champagne's remaining family-owned Grande Marque houses, with historic cellars that lie 33 meters beneath Épernay. This unique environment facilitates a slow and cool maturation process, which is essential to achieving the distinctiveness characteristic of the House style.
The 2016 vintage of Pol Roger Blanc de Blancs is crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced solely from Grand Cru villages along the Côte des Blancs. These villages include Oiry, Chouilly, Cramant, Avize, Oger, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, each contributing to the wine's remarkable finesse.
This particular vintage is marked by its impressive precision and carries the pure, chalky minerality that defines top-tier blanc de blancs Champagnes. It features an aromatic profile that showcases the finesse that the Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs are well-known for. With its elegant palate, the 2016 Blanc de Blancs is not only a true representation of its varietal but also a testament to Pol Roger’s dedication to excellence.
