Pol Roger Pure Extra Brut NV Champagne

Natasha Volkov — This is what dry champagne should taste like

9/10

Picked this up after the guy at my local wine shop recommended it as a proper zero-dosage champagne. He wasn't wrong — it's bone dry but somehow still really fruity and fresh, not harsh at all. Had it with oysters on our anniversary and it was absolutely perfect. Not cheap at £62 but honestly felt worth it for a special night.

Tyler Bennet — Finally a champagne that isn't sweet

8/10

I've been on a mission to find champagnes that aren't sugary and this Pol Roger Pure is exactly what I wanted. Really bright acidity, proper dry, and it just keeps going on the finish. Served it at a dinner party and even my friends who usually drink prosecco were impressed.

Jason Steel — Stunning stuff from Pol Roger

9/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and decided to try a glass before buying a bottle. So glad I did because I immediately ordered one to take home. There's real depth here — it starts quite subtle but then all these layers open up as you drink it. The clarity of the flavours is just class. One of the best extra bruts I've had.
