Champagne Pol Roger 'Rich' Demi-Sec NV
Launched in 2001, the Champagne Pol Roger 'Rich' Demi-Sec was created to satisfy the demand from markets where a semi-dry Champagne was required to pair with desserts, wedding cake and for the most demanding connoisseur's sweet tooth. The Rich cuvée is a precise replica of the Brut Réserve Non-Vintage being blended from 30 still base wines from different vineyards, different vintages and the three main grape varieties which dominate the champagne region; Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. The Pinot Noir contributes body, depth of character and life-extending tannins. Chardonnay provides the lightness, elegance and finesse whilst Pinot Meunier supplies youthful freshness, vigour and plump character. What makes Pol Roger 'Rich' different from the Brut Réserve is the increased dosage of 34 g/L of sugar which makes it the perfect drink for occasions when something a little less dry is called for. This would be the ideal toast to serve with wedding cake but equally it complements tarts and crumbles.
