The 2004 Pol Roger Blanc de Blancs Édition Vinothèque is a rare, extended-cellar release made entirely from Chardonnay grown in the Côte des Blancs Grand Cru villages of Oiry, Chouilly, Cramant, Avize and Oger. Its exceptionally fine mousse carries complex aromas of preserved citrus, quince and acacia honey, layered with brioche, French toast, toasted almond, cocoa butter, coconut and a subtle note of coffee.
On the palate, it is creamy, generous and beautifully mature, yet retains the freshness and precision of a fine Blanc de Blancs. Candied lemon, marzipan, honey and buttery pastry flavours are supported by a chalky, gently saline line. The texture is silky and harmonious, leading to a remarkably long finish of citrus, brioche and roasted nuts.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for collectors seeking a mature, gastronomic Champagne with both richness and finesse. Serve at 10–12°C in a generous white-wine glass and enjoy now or cellar into the early 2030s. Ideal with lobster, scallops, turbot, grilled sea bass with beurre blanc, roast poultry or aged Comté.
