✨ Technical Specifications
Pol Roger's Vintage Blanc de Blancs is a masterclass in the expression of Chardonnay from the prestigious Côte des Blancs. Crafted exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards including Oger, Cramant, Avize, Chouilly, and Mesnil-sur-Oger, this cuvée is produced only in exceptional vintage years. The house's history of meticulous craftsmanship shines through in their deep, cold clay-limestone cellars in Épernay, where the wine undergoes a slow secondary fermentation and extended aging on its lees for at least six to seven years. This patient process, combined with traditional hand-riddling, imparts a remarkable creamy texture, vibrant minerality, and complex notes of white flowers, fresh brioche, and citrus. Historically, Pol Roger has been synonymous with elegance, favored by British royalty and Winston Churchill alike, and this Blanc de Blancs represents the pinnacle of their single-varietal mastery.

Founded in 1849 by Pol Roger, this venerable Champagne house is situated along the celebrated Avenue de Champagne in Épernay, France. Remaining proudly independent and family-owned across generations of the Pol-Roger and de Billy families, the maison maintains a steadfast commitment to traditional methods, including extensive aging in cool, deep chalk cellars and manual riddling. Pol Roger is internationally celebrated for producing structured, refined Champagnes defined by balance and elegance, ranging from its quintessential non-vintage Brut Réserve to the prestigious, Pinot Noir-dominant Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill.
