1999 Pol Roger Blanc De Blancs

"One of the great mysteries to me ( less metaphysically challenging than other great mysteries perhaps) is why Pol Roger's Blanc de Blancs is not more popular. Sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, namely Cramant, Le Mesnil, Oger, Avize and Oirey, and afforded generous ageing on lees, this is a benchmark Chardonnay, combining feminine elegance, chalky charm and distinctive (almost paradoxically) ripeness, with words such as pineapple, apricot and quince flowing from the taster's pen. Try, in a moment of indulgence, with lobster." (Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer)
