The fruit still shows plenty of intensity and the tannins have softened

comparing it to the 2017 it does not quite have the same tension and mineralité

these are the oldest vines in the Jadot portfolio of owned vineyards)

It is opaque

There is plenty of muscle and a certain robust power and while the shaping tannins are dense they are also relatively fine

Pol Roger, Blanc de Blancs Vintage other_regions The fruit still shows plentyPol Roger's 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs is terrific. The natural ripeness of the year amps up the Chardonnay flavors. Rich and ample in the glass, with tons of depth, the 2012 really shines. Readers should expect a pretty big Champagne, but all the elements are nicely balanced. Disgorged, February, 2019.
