Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: May 22, March 7, January 4 and December 16.

Tasting note:

Terrific bubbly with a gorgeous mousse and toasty goodness. Notes of green apples and Asian pear. Makes a great aperitif or companion to many dishes. Food matches: cream soups, oysters, seafood, caviar, soufflés, strawberries.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Megan reviewed this wine as follows: On the nose I got lemon, grapefruit, orange, apple, flowers, and crayon wax. A lovely fruit bowl of a nose. In the mouth I found lemon, grapefruit, apple, and a bit of orange zest. The apple in the mouth seemed more tart than on the nose. The wine had great bubbles and a racy backbone.

Pol Roger founded his Champagne house in 1849, and today it is one of the few remaining family-owned Champagne producers. With cellars which can hold over six million bottles, Pol Roger exports to 105 countries around the world. The house of Pol Roger is renowned for both its non-vintage Brut, which is the standard bearer for any Champagne house, and its vintage Champagnes, including the famous "Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill." The style particular to the House of Pol Roger is characterized by its "Brut", which is a harmonious "assemblage" of different vintages. It is the skill of the tasters and the careful selection of the "crus" which gives this wine its balance and its continuity of style
