【Pol Roger 保羅傑】
保羅傑酒莊來自於法國香檳區的阿依(Aÿ),創立於1849年 Epernay,在短短的半世紀裡隨即嶄露頭角,成為最負盛名的香檳酒商之一。歷經五代傳承160年的歷史至今,現由家族第六代- Hubert de Billy 領導。酒莊擁有綿延七公里、深達地下三層的酒窖裡,隨時儲有750萬瓶香檳正在進行熟成。產量方面,相較香檳區的大酒廠雖並不算大,然而酒莊之名氣聲望,在香檳區卻名列前矛。
酒莊與英國皇室的交誼相當深厚,前首相邱吉爾最愛的香檳,就屬 Champagne Pol Roger。酒莊甚至在1984年推出一款以首相邱吉爾而命名的香檳---Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill。英國皇室查爾斯王子婚宴也使用保羅傑香檳。
卓越&優雅的風格,如同法國記者兼作家的 Jean-Paul Kauffman 尚恩保羅考夫曼在 "Voyage en Champagne"「在香檳區的旅程」一書中所寫道:「保羅傑香檳是"紳士"的香檳」!
RP:96 Drink Date:2025 - 2045
The 2013 Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill continues to show beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, mandarin oil, freshly baked bread and pastry cream. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and precise, it's deep and vinous, with a racy spine of an acidity and a tensile but relatively charming profile that means it's already approachable. In style, the 2013 is in contrast with the broader, fleshier 2012, but the two vintages are very close in ultimate quality.

Complex and subtle aromas of dried ginger, pie crust, cooked apple and cooked peach follow through to a full body with ginseng, toasted bread and dried apple. Very fine and multidimensional. Great wine. Drink now.
WS:95
An expressive Champagne, with ripe and juicy pineapple, cassis and apricot fruit flavors married to notes of brioche, saline, lemon curd and honeysuckle. Backed by a spine of fresh acidity, this is well-cut and harmonious, with the fine and creamy mousse carrying the flavor range on the lasting finish. Drink now through 2035. 600 cases imported.
