Pol Roger's history begins with a wine sale in Aÿ in 1849. The house moved to Épernay two years later, and its cellars there remain integral to how it makes Champagne. Its own vineyard has grown to 92 hectares, supported by grapes from growers.
A house style built by blending
Brut Réserve brings together Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay in equal parts from 30 crus. Reserve wines account for 25 percent of the blend. It is a useful measure of the house's balance across varieties, villages and harvests. Pol Roger's product notes describe bottle fermentation and ageing in deep, cool cellars below Épernay.
The prestige-cuvée timeline
The Union des Maisons de Champagne records the 1976 introduction of La Réserve Spéciale Cuvée PR Millésimée, drawn from the 1971 vintage and made with equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Pol Roger dates the creation of Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill to 1975. Both are later additions to a house that began with Pol Roger’s first sale in 1849.
