Perfect Pairing
Pol Roger Brut Reserve
La Vallée de la Marne, Champagne, France
White, Sparkling
Pairing Idea: Champagne
What you're looking for here is a sparkling wine made with all three traditional Champagne grapes; that has a rounder, more generous style--classic Champagne house style, not grower Champagne style, that matches the pairing characteristics below but with a sweetness level that is somewhere between none and low--you want a Brut style, not Extra Brut or Zero Dosage.
