Non vintage wines from top Champagne houses are always a smart buy. Made by some of the region’s most skilful winemakers, they tend to be great value considering the quality of wine in the glass. Two of our favourite non vintage Champagnes are in stock now at sharp prices: Pol Roger and Bollinger.
Pol Roger’s Brut Reserve, with its distinctive white label, is one of the best non vintage Champagnes. It comes from thirty base wines, and Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay each make up a third of the blend. The wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation before ageing for at least four years on the lees: an unusually long time for a non vintage wine. With its combination of structure and elegance, Pol Roger NV epitomises the house style.
Bollinger’s Special Cuvee is known for richness and exuberance. Pinot Noir predominates, making up 60% of the blend. Reserve wines, some of which are aged in magnum for 7-15 years, give this non vintage remarkable depth. The wine is aged in Bollinger’s cellars for twice as long as the appellation rules require. It can age well in bottle for those with the patience to wait.
