Now we will take a look at the Pol Roger Brut Champagne.
The colour on this Champagne was much more of deeper amber yellow vs. the Moët and Chandon. The nose on it caught my attention as it was a powerful mix of yeast, baked bread and stale beer. Tasting the Pol Roger, you’ll find a fresh bread/hoppy flavour to it with a lime finish. This Champagne certain had a bigger mouth-feel to it than the Moët and Chandon which I liked but it was sharp at times. Without food the Moët and Chandon was much better than the Pol Roger but with the sushi the Pol Roger was very good as it was big enough to handle all the different flavours being thrown at it.
Here is the group rating for the wine - Mick – 89, Mark - 88, Kathy – 87, Amy – 87, Overall – 87.75.
