The Story

Pol Roger’s vinification is quite normal, which leads me to the conclusion that the secret lies in the quality of the grapes and, above all, in the skill in assembling the cuvées. The wines are medium-bodied, with a lovely fruit balance and perfect dosage. The mousse is exemplary, with smaller bubbles than usual because of a cellar temperature half a degreee below the average. Pol Roger had more wines and more older wines in the Millennium Tas...

Wine Information

Perhaps the most enjoyable of all champagnes on ”century-tasting« of Pol Roger in October -98. The bottle we tasted was absolutely newly disgorged and very elegant and youthful. The entire wine exuded charm and vigor. The fruit and the lightly toasted aromas similar to those found in the ’47 and ’75, but the aftertaste of caramel is even longer. Just as amazing now.’ RJ 98(98)

Vintage 1921

The 1921 vintage in Champagne is remembered as an outstanding year that yielded wines of remarkable quality and character. 

The weather conditions in Champagne during the 1921 growing season played a pivotal role in shaping the exceptional character of the vintage. The year began with a cold winter, followed by a spring with ideal conditions for flowering. Summer was warm and dry, with consistent sunshine, allowing the grapes to ripen slowl...

Written Notes

Christian Pol-Roger has a talent for bringing out historical wines when least expected. After a late dinner with one of Australia's foremost Champagne experts, Christian brought out a magnum of this divine wine. Imagine being able to swallow large gulps of something so heavenly after an intense week of work involving the constant spitting out of wonderful treats. The wine itself was in perfect condition. The quality was on a par with the legendary 1914, but the style was different. This wine was both drier and tighter, with a nutty, serious, everlasting taste. The depth of the flavor was comparable to the Mariana Trench. Considerably more tired and simple in a normal bottle.

Jag har alltid fascinerats av fräschören i vinerna från ’den mest drickbara adressen i världen’ som Sir Winston Churchill benämnde det vackra & ytterst välskötta huset på Avenue de Champagne i Epernay. Jag fick denna flaska serverad blint under mitt senaste besök i november. Jag gissar ständigt 20-30 år fel på grund av att viner direkt från Pol Rogers källare med extrem ålder i princip mumifierats och uppvisar en sådan förbluffande vitalitet och ungdomlighet att det bara är att ställa sig upp och jubla! Detta fortfarande ett riktigt stort vin med fantastisk koncentration. Färgen var mycket djup och moussen mikroskopisk (kolsyraviskning). Smakdjupet var enormt och likheten med en gammal fin cognac är ytterst påtaglig.
