Champagne House
Why go
Pol Roger began with a wine sale in Aÿ in 1849 and moved to Épernay in 1851. Its Brut Réserve blends Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay, and its deep cellars shape the ageing program. The house does not offer public visits.
Pol Roger is an Épernay Champagne house whose first wine sale took place in Aÿ in 1849. It moved to Épernay in 1851. Today the house reports 92 hectares of its own vines and supplements them with grapes from growers.
For an introduction to the house style, Brut Réserve is the clearest reference point. Pol Roger blends Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay in equal shares from 30 crus, adding 25 percent reserve wines. Its deep Épernay cellars are part of the production story, with cool conditions for bottle fermentation and ageing.
La Réserve Spéciale Cuvée PR Millésimée was introduced in 1976 from the 1971 vintage. The house dates the creation of Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill to 1975. The two wines offer a useful route into its prestige-cuvée history, but neither date should be described as a first vintage for the house. Pol Roger does not offer public visits. Explore the house through its wines rather than planning a cellar stop in Épernay.
Pol Roger is a family Champagne house in Épernay whose deep, cool cellars are part of its wine style. The house began in Aÿ in 1849 and moved to Épernay two years later. Brut Réserve blends Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay; the Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill reflects the house’s link to one of its most famous admirers.
A strong choice for drinkers interested in a long-established Champagne house, balanced three-grape blending and cellar-aged wines. Pol Roger does not offer public visits, so discover its bottles through a retailer or restaurant rather than planning a house tour.
Start with Brut Réserve to understand the house blend of Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay. If you want a vintage or prestige cuvée, compare the current releases with a wine merchant or sommelier. The Épernay house does not offer public visits.
Elegant and refined atmosphere in historic 19th-century buildings with modernized facilities, cool cellar ambiance at 9°C, and a sense of timeless tradition.
