The same base vintage as was current in Australia last year, but a fresher disgorgement here. While disgorgement dates are not marked on bottles, the packaging date on the carton will always be about three months after disgorgement.

An attractive and refreshing aperitif style, clean, crisp and well made. The classic fine bead of the house is on full display here, with flavours of lemon and white peach on the front palate and subtle minerality on the finish. It lacks a little in mid-palate presence and carry through the finish. One bottle tasted in Australia was less lively and slightly more developed, taking on walnut skin and savoury notes and finishing short. Rating 93 - Tyson Stelzer, The Champagne Guide 2012 - 2013

Pol is great shape at the minute, with impressive freshness and that all-round style that seems to nail broad appeal without losing complexity and class. Drawing on Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, this has a complex toasty overlay across red berries and citrus fruits. In the mouth, it's fine yet bold, with plenty of ripe red-fruit flavour, finishing crisp and tidy.Rating 93 & 2 Glasses - Nick Stock, Good Wine Guide 2011

"Delicate but with drive, this is a miasma of flowers, red fruit and lime. Lovely weight and texture, precise balance and a rich but fresh feel"Highly Recommended - Decanter Magazine (Dec/2009)

The base vintage here is 2005, the blend the usual one-third each of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Meunier, and the dosage 10 g/l. A very pale hue in the glass, fresh and crisp and feminine in style, followed by a rather rich and fleshy style on the palate. Quite accessible at present, more so than expected from that crispy-fruit nose, with a broad and fresh presence of fruit here, highlighted by a beautiful floral character. Very fine.

Quite nutty and evolved, with sweaty/toasty/cheesy aromas and a very yeasty palate with solid flavours and green apple-like acidity.4 Stars - Winestate Magazine (Nov/Dec 2010)
