Champagne, France 

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier

Pol Roger’s Brut Réserve is everything you want in proper Champagne — crisp orchard fruit, toasted brioche, a touch of citrus, and bubbles so fine they feel like velvet. Rich enough to impress, fresh enough to disappear far too quickly. This is serious fizz with heritage and balance.

Pop it with oysters, triple-cooked chips, or nothing at all. It’s a classic for a reason — poised, elegant, and perfect for celebrations big or small. If you're going to do Champagne, do it like this.
