Pol Roger is one of the most esteemed Champagne houses in France, founded in 1849 by Pol Roger in the town of Épernay. Known for its consistent quality and classic style, Pol Roger remains family-owned, now managed by the fifth and sixth generations. The house has built a reputation for elegance, precision, and finesse, particularly in its Brut and vintage offerings.
Careful selection of grapes and traditional winemaking methods that conquer.
Pol Roger is perhaps most famously associated with Sir Winston Churchill, who declared it his favorite Champagne. In honor of this close relationship, the house created the Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill, a prestigious cuvée released only in exceptional vintages. The blend, kept secret, is believed to favor Pinot Noir with a touch of Chardonnay, reflecting Churchill’s preference for full-bodied styles.
The winery owns around 90 hectares of vineyards in the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne. Pol Roger emphasizes meticulous grape selection and traditional winemaking methods, including fermentation in stainless steel and extended lees aging. Their cellars, dug deep into the chalk soil of Épernay, maintain a constant, cool temperature ideal for slow maturation.
The flagship Brut Réserve, often referred to as "White Foil," is a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay from over 30 crus, offering balance and freshness. Pol Roger also produces celebrated vintage Champagnes and a Blanc de Blancs made entirely from Grand Cru Chardonnay. Their Champagnes are known for fine bubbles, bright acidity, and aging potential.
With a reputation for understated luxury and dedication to traditional craftsmanship, Pol Roger continues to be a favorite among royalty, politicians, and wine connoisseurs alike. The house's commitment to quality over quantity has ensured its place as one of the most respected names in Champagne.
