WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Pol Roger Brut Vintage 2018 is produced using traditional Champagne methods. Grapes are pressed upon arrival at the cellar, and the must undergoes cold settling. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, with each variety and village vinified separately. Full malolactic fermentation is completed. The wine then ages for a minimum of seven years in Pol Roger's deep cellars, with secondary fermentation occurring in the bottle at 9°C. The dosage is 7 g/L.
