Pol Roger Brut Vintage 2015 Champagne: A Toast-Worthy Cuvee

Victor Osei — Good but not £200 good

5/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and it was pleasant enough — nice bubbles, lemony and appley with a bit of a biscuity thing. But honestly for two hundred quid I expected to be more blown away. I've had champagnes at half the price that I enjoyed just as much.

Rosa Paredes — Classy stuff from Pol Roger

7/10

I'm a bit of a Pol Roger fan and this 2015 vintage is proper good. There's a chalkiness to it that I really like, and the green apple freshness keeps it lively. The finish goes on for ages with this almost salty, mineral quality. Pricey but you're getting quality Pinot Noir champagne here.

Maxwell Green — Lovely for a special night in

7/10

Bought this for our anniversary and it was really nice. You get that toasty brioche thing going on with some nutty notes, and it's got a proper crisp finish. At £199 it's not an everyday bottle but felt worth it for the occasion.
