"The 2021 Juliénas 'Le Clos des Poulettes' is unique in that it's made in what I imagine to be the only working winery in France located in a church.

It is full, rich yet fresh, and loved by those who prefer a richer Champagne style. Pol Roger is beautifully balanced and oozes class. Perfect for all special occasions.
