The Champagne Demi Sec "Rich" is a great expression of refinement and elegance from the Pol Roger winery. “Rich” is a sort of harmonic tightrope walker between sugar and freshness, capable of persuading the palate with its pleasant and delightful traits of sweetness. It is a perfect union of characters, skillfully combined based on the solid know how of the historic maison Pol Roger, devoted to Champagne for 160 years. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay, the three musketeers of Champagne, contribute equally to the definition of Pol Roger's Demi Sec, each bringing its own characteristics. The Pinot Noir, coming from the best Crus of Montagne de Reims, gives body and power, the Pinot Meunier, directly from the Vallee de la Marne and Epernay, ensures roundness and flavor, while the Chardonnay, from Epernay and the best Crus of Côte des Blancs, enriches the identity, bringing aromatic complexity, finesse, and elegance.
The three varieties used to obtain the “Rich” Demi Sec Champagne from Pol Roger come from,overall, from 30 different Crus. The varieties are present in equal percentage, with a 25% participation of reserve wines. The grapes are harvested and selected with extreme care, then pressed to obtain a must of great delicacy. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel containers and occurs, just like malolactic fermentation, separately for the various parcels involved. At the end of this first phase of winemaking, the various cuvées are blended to create a unique and rare product. Only at that point is the wine bottled and the prise de mousse can begin, which is the second fermentation in the bottle. The aging on the lees is expected to be at least 3 years.
