Extraordinary. You immediately check the vintage date and wonder how a 103-year-old wine can still sparkle like a diamond. Disgorged in 2013 after 92 years on lees in the bottle, this shows remarkable freshness thanks to a firm spine of acidity that ensures crisp mandarin and dried peach notes combine with a drizzle of honeysuckle and a waft of toast and biscuit, although these developed flavours speak with a polite whisper. Pol Roger notes show that the 1921 vintage was outstanding, with a cold winter followed by ideal spring flowering and a warm, dry summer to produce fruit of exceptional quality – which is still clearly evident in this perfectly balanced, demure Champagne.
