Champagne Taittinger Brut Reserve NV
' The Taittinger family has producing world-class Champagne for nearly a century and its aim has always been the pursuit of excellence. The Brut Reserve is produced each year from 95% first pressings of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay and this is the definitive cuvee of Champagne Taittinger. It also includes a proportion of reserve wine int he belnd to ensure the blend is as excellent year in and year out. Prior to release the Brut Reserve is aged for 3-4 years giving the wine depth whilst allowing the component parts to become fully integrated. The grapes for the Brut Reserve come from prime vineyards throughout Champagne, with approximately 50% coming from the Taittinger Estate. It is a carefully balanced blend of wines from more than 35 'crus'. '
Pol Roger, Brut Réserve NV
Pol Roger Brut Réserve is a classic Champagne that immediately charms with aromas of white flowers, crisp green apple, brioche, and a subtle mineral edge. The palate is bright and fresh, with stone fruits, a gentle nuttiness, and just a touch of honey rounding out the lively acidity. Bottles destined for the UK get an extra six months’ ageing after disgorgement, making them beautifully ready to drink on release - though a few years in the cellar will add even more depth and complexity. The cuvée is crafted from 30 base wines drawn from a wide range of vineyards, vintages, and the region’s three main grape varieties. Pinot Noir (from villages in the Montagne de Reims) brings structure and depth; Chardonnay (from Épernay and the Côte des Blancs) adds elegance and finesse; while Pinot Meunier (from the Vallée de la Marne) contributes freshness and charm. Around 25% reserve wines are included, with the blend aged four years before release.
