1996 was an exceptional vintage and this Chardonnay wine from Grand Cru vineyards is an excellent example of the great wines form this vintage with brilliant light yellow color, lively bouquet with hints of citrus and cream and plenty of delicious yellow fruit flavor and a touch of honey; the bubbles are well-formed and persistent and the wine has quite a long finish; enjoy with elegant seafood dishes or cold meat dishes like pates, terrines or chilled pheasant; established in 1849, Pol Roger is a top Champagne house with wines that have been favored by the English royalty and Winston Churchill.
