La Cuvee

Produced only in limited quantities, the Brut Vintage 2012 is aged 7 years on the lees.

Vinification and aging

 The must undergoes two débourbages (settlements), one in the press room immediately after pressing and the second, a débourbage à froid, in stainless steel tanks at 6 ° C for a period of 24 hours. Slow cold fermentation with temperature kept below 18 ° C takes place in stainless steel with each variety and each village kept separate. The wine undergoes a complete malolactic fermentation before the final mixing. Secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle at 9 ° C in the deeper Pol Roger cellars (33 meters below street level) where the wine is stored until it is subjected to hand remuage (enigma), a rarity in Champagne at today. The very fine and persistent mousse for which Pol Roger is renowned owes much to these deep, fresh and moist cellars.
