Pol Roger Extra Cuvée de Réserve Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne 2016

Very cool and bright, this shows aromas of grapefruit, candied lemons, sliced pears and fresh croissants. It’s racy on the palate, with lively acidity and very fresh citrus fruit flavors. Vivid, but also silky in texture. Grand cru chardonnay from Cote des Blancs. Disgorged 2024. Drink now or hold. Score – 95. (Claire Nesbitt, jamessuckling.com, July 15, 2025)
