Pol Roger Cuvee PR 1979 Brut Champagne (750ml)

Tasted in May, 2015

Delectable ripeness of apricot, bolstered by tons of cheese, chocolate and toffee, together with serious walnutty depth. There is absolutely no sign of tiredness in this oldie! Instead, this is all about muscles – a real blockbuster, in the best sense of the word! So robust and long that we could almost hear the roaring of turbo charger... It gains seamless integration with age, without compromising any of its authoritative power! Simply amazing!

Cuvee PR is Pol Roger’s original prestige cuvee before the creation of Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill. Cuvee Churchill is believed to contain higher content of Pinot Noir (70% - 80%), while Cuvee PR is a classic blend of roughly equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. But it's hard to believe this muscular 79 PR contains only 50% Pinot... A big boy!
