Pol Roger

Pol Roger is a Champagne producer that crafts traditional méthode champenoise wines across a range of styles. Its portfolio spans Brut Réserve, vintage Blanc de Blancs and Rosé, and the limited Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill made only in exceptional years.

All base wines are fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve a fresh, fruit-forward character. Bottles rest in deep, cool cellars for long periods—extended time for non-vintage wines, and typically seven to ten years for vintage and prestige cuvées—building complexity and fine, persistent bubbles.

The result is Champagne that balances clarity of fruit with layered texture developed through extended lees aging.
