It is often remarked in Champagne that a House's quality should be judged by its non-vintage and this is a doctrine to which Pol Roger are firm adherents. The blending of this cuvée, the “White Foil” is a source of particular pride and is a complex task taken on by a select circle. The grapes for the cuvée sourced from top quality vineyards in Montagne de Reims (Pinot Noir), Vallée de la Marne and Petite Vallé d’Epernay (Pinot Meunier) and the Côte des Blancs (Chardonnay).
Pol Roger “White Foil” is traditionally a blend of equal parts Pinot Noir (lending body and depth) Pinot Meunier (for freshness and vigorous fruit) and Chardonnay (providing elegance and finesse) and is sourced exclusively from top villages, including premier cru and grand cru villages including Verzy, Ambonnay, Oger and Vertus. Thirty to 35 base wines are combined to make the blend, drawing from different parcels, grape varieties and vintage.

"The wine wafts from the glass with an alluring bouquet of green apple, brioche, pastry cream and buttered toast. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, impressively layered and complete, with a crisp but fleshy core of fruit, a youthfully frothy mousse and bright acids, concluding with a delicately chalky finish. This is one of the very finest—as well as among the most consistent—non-vintage brut bottlings from any of the Grandes Marques, and this release comes very warmly recommended. While it will be drinkable on release, it will reward some bottle age too." - William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 92 points
