Pol Roger Brut Reserve
Production
Pol Roger uses the méthode champenoise for their champagne production. Brut Reserve champagne is composed of approximately equal parts Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The wine rests in the bottle for 3 to 4 years before release. Dosage ranges from 9 to 12 grams per liter. More recent releases tend to be on the lower side. The juice undergoes a settling process (debourbage) at cool temperatures prior to fermentation. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures. All bottles are riddled entirely by hand.
