What sets a vintage champagne apart is the balance of the right blend of healthy grapes, potential alcohol and correct acidity in a single year, and the wines capacity to age. Those who buy the 2002 and have the patience to age it will be rewarded with a much more complex and richer wine.<\/p>\n<p>Released in very limited quantities, in bottles, magnums and a few jeroboams, Pol Roger 2002 is made up of the traditional house blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from twenty Grands and Premiers\u00a0Crus vineyards in the Montagne de Reims and the C\u00f4te des Blancs.<\/p>\n<p>Pol Roger&#8217;s official launch has only taken place this week and there are as yet no published tasting notes or scores available from the wine writers. However, suffice to say that we tasted and were hugely impressed, rating the 2002 as one of the best vintages we have tasted from Pol Roger, a house that we have tremendous respect for. Their own MW, James Simpson, noted it as follows:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cPale yellow gold with a fine stream of steady bubbles. Still very young and understated on the nose but some autolytic development and huge potential. Great weight and power on the palate with a creamy, rich structure, fully balanced with very poised acidity. Very fine and very long. Tremendous potential for mid and long term ageing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">OPENING OFFER &#8211; POL ROGER 2002 VINTAGE &#8211; <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">prices include duty<\/span>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Bottles \u00a3240.00 ex Vat per 6 bottles<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #003366;\">(\u00a3288.00 \/ \u00a348 bottle inc.
