Presented in magnum, the wine benefits from a slower maturation curve, enhancing aromatic complexity and textural finesse while preserving the house’s hallmark precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"480\" data-end=\"1051\"\u003eThe 2018 vintage delivered generous, healthy fruit with both ripeness and freshness, allowing Pol Roger to craft a composed and structured cuvée. Fermented in stainless steel to retain varietal clarity, the wine undergoes extended maturation on lees in the house’s deep chalk cellars beneath Épernay. These naturally cool conditions slow development, refining the mousse and integrating layers of citrus, orchard fruit, and subtle brioche. As with all vintage releases, each bottle is riddled by hand, maintaining a traditional approach that defines the house’s identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1053\" data-end=\"1310\"\u003eIn magnum, this Champagne offers increased ageing capacity, with a cellaring window of 10 to 20 years from vintage. It is well suited to celebratory occasions and performs confidently at the table, pairing with oysters, lobster, or roast chicken with herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1312\" data-end=\"1325\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Citrus and pastry\u003cbr\u003eLifted aromas of lemon zest, white peach, and fresh brioche with a fine mineral edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1442\" data-end=\"1469\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Layered precision\u003cbr\u003eOrchard fruit and citrus unfold across a fine mousse, supported by balanced acidity and subtle savoury notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1583\" data-end=\"1609\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Long and refined\u003cbr\u003eClean, persistent finish with chalky texture and composed freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1682\" data-end=\"1701\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1703\" data-end=\"1797\"\u003e“A refined and elegant vintage with bright citrus, white fruit and a fine, persistent bead.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1797\" data-end=\"1800\"\u003e- James Suckling, 94 Points, 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1835\" data-end=\"1964\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1835\" data-end=\"1934\"\u003e“Shows impressive balance and texture, with subtle brioche complexity from extended lees ageing.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1934\" data-end=\"1937\"\u003e- Decanter, 93 Points, 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1966\" data-end=\"2085\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1966\" data-end=\"2049\"\u003e“Fresh and structured, offering depth without weight and a long, mineral finish.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2049\" data-end=\"2052\"\u003e- Wine Spectator, 93 Points, 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2087\" data-end=\"2100\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eStyle – Vintage Champagne\u003cbr data-start=\"2127\" data-end=\"2130\"\u003eVarietal – Pinot Noir, Chardonnay\u003cbr data-start=\"2163\" data-end=\"2166\"\u003eCountry – France\u003cbr data-start=\"2182\" data-end=\"2185\"\u003eRegion – Champagne\u003cbr data-start=\"2203\" data-end=\"2206\"\u003eVintage – 2018\u003cbr data-start=\"2220\" data-end=\"2223\"\u003eBottle Size – 1.5L\u003cbr data-start=\"2241\" data-end=\"2244\"\u003eABV – 12.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"2255\" data-end=\"2258\"\u003eClosure – Cork\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pol Roger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42656250134615,"sku":"PR-BRUT-18-1.5L","price":429.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/61a34247-de3b-464d-aba2-d0431a6b3943.jpg?v=1775085230","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/pol-roger-brut-vintage-2018-1-5l","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
