Pol Roger Brut Vintage 1990 - L'Harmonie Solaire d'Épernay

1990: The Vintage of Fulfillment

The year 1990 brought the historic trilogy of 1988-1989-1990 to a masterful close. Marked by record sunshine, it produced exceptionally ripe grapes. The result? Wines of rare aromatic richness, with a velvety texture and a vinosity that in no way diminishes the legendary finesse of the Pol Roger estate.

The Cuvée Réserve: Pol Roger Style at its Peak

The 1990 Brut Vintage is a classic blend of the finest terroirs of the Marne. Patiently aged in the deepest cellars of Épernay (33 meters underground), this wine has developed remarkable complexity. Pol Roger's signature controlled oxidation allows this 1990 to shine today with its persistent freshness despite its 36 years in the cellar.

Tasting Notes: Smoothness and Nobleness

• Appearance: Deep, intense and brilliant yellow gold. The bubbles have become extremely fine, almost caressing.
• Nose: A luscious bouquet of ripe yellow fruits (peach, apricot), flower honey, toasted brioche and a hint of roasted dried fruit.
• Palate: Ample and generous. Creaminess is the signature of this vintage, balanced by a fine acidity that stretches the wine towards a saline and persistent finish, carried by notes of candied zest.

A "Museum" State of Conservation

As the image shows, this bottle is in truly exceptional condition. The white label is immaculate, without any trace of moisture, and the gold capsule is perfectly intact. The fill level is optimal. This is a bottle that has been carefully stored in the darkness of a collector's cellar, ready to be given as a gift or enjoyed immediately.

WUAT's Opinion
