James Suckling, 94 Points 

"This is really delicious and soft with ultra-fine bubbles and a creamy texture. The flavors are subtle with cooked apple, pear and pie crust. Medium-bodied. Fresh and delicious. So subtle." 

Wine Enthusiast, 94 Points 

"Crisp apples and tight minerality come together in a satisfyingly ripe wine. It is young, showing its fruity side and only just moving to its future complexity. But this will be a fine, structured Champagne. Drink from 2022." 

Wine Advocate, 93 Points 

"Pol Roger's newly released 2013 Brut Blanc de Blancs is very appealing, unwinding in the glass with scents of crisp orchard fruit, citrus zest, sourdough bread, pastry cream and almonds. Medium to full-bodied, taut and incisive, it's more chiseled than the richer, more concentrated 2012, with racy acids and a gently reductive edge, concluding with chalky grip. This is a real classic in style and should develop beautifully with age on cork." 

Wine Spectator, 93 Points 

"This expressive blanc de blancs indulges the palate with its creamy, lightly plush texture and bright and juicy acidity, a lovely canvas for aromas and flavors of ripe pineapple and apricot fruit, elderflower, lemon curd and salted almond." 

Vinous, 92 Points 

"The 2013 Blanc de Blancs is another terrific wine in this range from Pol Roger. It offers up a mélange of apricot, honey, chamomile, dried herbs. The ripeness of the Chardonnays comes through in burnished tropical accents that lend an exotic flair. Drink this over the next decade or so."
