Pol Roger, one of a few luxury Champagne firms still family-owned, was established in Epernay in 1849. Pol Roger owns 200 acres of vineyards, which provide about 45% of their needs. Pol Roger's cellars extend over four miles of winding chalk passageways on two levels. second or deeper cellar maintains a constant 9.5º C (50º F), one degree lower than first level and most others in region. This lower temperature slows second fermentation, encouraging a finer mousse or bubbles. Pol Roger Champagne also spends two to three times allowable minimum in cellar before disgorgement, or about three years for non-vintage and up to seven for luxury cuvees. long, slow maturation contributes greatly to complex aromas, which distinguish these superb Champagnes. Brut Non Vintage blend is traditionally composed from about 30 to 35 still base wines, drawn from different vineyard sites, grape varieties and vintage years. It usually contains wines of at least two vintages, often three or four. Reserve Minimize

What were you up to in year 2000? It proved to be one of most fascinating vintages in Oregon. If you've socked my Nuthouse chardonnay and Prestige level Pinot Noirs away in cellar, you are one of very lucky ones. I love how complex 10 years on yeast sparkling can get. aromas include a revolving sense of red plum- apple pie, ripe pear fruit, blossom honey, graham cracker yeastiness, and dare I say exotic mango-like creaminess. We could go on and on about how many wine descriptors there are for this great wine. I'll donate a few words here and look forward to hearing about yours. I got beautiful ripe pear and mango-smoothie fruit and creaminess that wrapped itself around an amazing mineral acidity. beginning, middle, and finish are a cornucopia of fruit, richness of mouth-feel that we've come to expect out of this great wine offering. If prodded, one can find mango-apricot-pear (Nashi and Anjou), apple (red and yellow ones, not green ones)-crabapple fruit hints. yeast age is just right, Minimize

This wine is from France, Champagne region. Bruno Paillard’s family lineage of brokers and growers in the two Grand Cru villages of Bouzy and Verzenay dates back to 1704. Following in their footsteps, he began as a broker in 1975, and acquired a deep and extensive knowledge of the region and its wines. In 1981, at the age of 27, Paillard started his own Champagne house - the first new one in nearly a century. After renting a cellar for three years and purchasing carefully selected grapes from independent growers, Paillard released his first Champagnes. He then built his own cellar, allowing him total control over temperature, lighting and humidity.. In 1990 he built his current winery, and in 1994 began purchasing vineyards. He now has 62 acres, which cover 1/3 of his production needs, almost half of which are Grand Cru in some of the best viticultural areas in Champagne. These vineyards are farmed organically and sustainably - a rigorous and delicate job given that the vineyards are subdivided into 40 different parcels. All harvesting is done by hand, according to the particularities of the parcel. Paillard also still works with high-quality, independent grape growers with whom he has had relationships for many years. The total production of Champagne Bruno Paillard is limited to 45,000 cases, made exclusively from the first pressing of grapes from the best vineyards in Champagne. From the Brut Premiere Cuvee to the N.P.U. (Non Plus Ultra), all Bruno Paillard Champagnes share the same finesse and dryness. Each cru is vinified separately, minimal dosage levels are added, aging is extensive and well beyond AOC requirements. All Bruno Paillard bottles carry the disgorgement date on the back label, a quality step pioneered by Paillard. After disgorgement, all bottles are returned to the cellars for a minimum of 3 months before being labeled and shipped.. (85% Pinot Noir/15% Chardonnay). Pinot Noir juice under its two forms is dominant in the blend - white wine thanks to a rapidpressing, with juice and skins separated at once and red wine obtained by fermenting the skins with the juice for a completeextraction of color. A significant percentage of Chardonnay from the North of the Cote des Blancs adds freshness to the blend.The dosage is kept very low - 8 to 9 grams of sugar per liter - so as to produce an authentic and pure wine. The disgorgementdate is on the back label. Minimum maturation in our cellar after disgorgement and before shipment: 3 to 4 months.. Lightcopper gold color, slightly raspberry when young, growing salmon pink when mature. Vivacious and fruity, first aromas ofredcurrant, fresh red fruit, leaning towards Morello cherry, strawberry and violet when opened. Refined and pure with anelegant, long and delicate finish.
