2006 Pol Roger Vintage Champagne Édition Vinothèque
Pol Roger Vintage Champagne Édition Vinothèque 2006 is a rare and exclusive vintage champagne that has been aged for an exceptionally long time in Pol Roger's historic cellars before its release. This extended cellar aging results in a champagne with silky bubbles, impressive complexity, and an elegant balance of ripe fruit, brioche, roasted nuts, and chalky minerality.
About the product
Pol Roger is one of Champagne's most renowned family-owned champagne houses and has been synonymous with uncompromising quality and classic craftsmanship since 1849. The house's champagnes are known for their elegance, precision, and exceptional aging potential.
Édition Vinothèque is Pol Roger's most exclusive range, where selected vintage champagnes are aged significantly longer than usual in the house's deep chalk cellars. This extra maturation develops a remarkable complexity, a finer mousse, and a depth that only time can create.
Vintage 2006 is composed of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from some of Champagne's best Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards. The result is a harmonious champagne with great finesse, impressive depth, and a long, refined finish.
About the region
Champagne is the world's most famous wine region for sparkling wines and is known for its cool climate and chalky subsoil. This combination yields wines with high natural acidity, great elegance, and exceptional aging potential.
The grapes for this vintage come from carefully selected vineyards in the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs. The chalky soils impart the champagne with its characteristic minerality, precision, and elegant structure.
