Candied lemons and parma violets, orange, peach and apricot; the texture is a fascinating progression from zesty opening to rich mid-palate to chalky finish to brioche-filled aftertaste. A lovely, complex, delicate and delicious champagne. (NT 26/10/20)

Pol Roger`s just-released 2013 Brut Vintage is a beautifully chiseled, incisive wine that will appeal immensely to purists. Unwinding in the glass with scents of citrus zest, white flowers, crushed chalk and hints of fresh sourdoughs, it`s medium to full-bodied, racy and precise, with a nicely concentrated and tightly wound core, tangy acids and an elegant pinpoint mousse. After the rich, muscular 2012 vintage, the 2013 represents quite a contrast; I`m not sure we`ll see its stylistic like again for some time, so readers with classically inclined palates will want to stock up—advice I`ll be following myself. 94 points
