✨ Technical Specifications
Pol Roger's Brut Vintage is a masterclass in the art of patience and precision, produced only in years when the harvest reaches absolute peak maturity. Drawing fruit from 20 Grand and Premier Cru vineyards across the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs, this cuvée represents a harmonious marriage of structure and elegance. The house's legendary cellars in Épernay, carved deep into the chalk and sitting thirty meters below ground, maintain a constant, exceptionally cool temperature of 9 degrees Celsius. This naturally slows the secondary fermentation, fostering an incredibly fine, persistent mousse and a complex autolytic character. Each bottle is meticulously hand-riddled by skilled remueurs, a rare, traditional practice that Pol Roger proudly preserves. The result is a Champagne of remarkable depth, balancing the rich, vinous power of Pinot Noir with the mineral-driven, citrusy freshness of Chardonnay, wrapped in notes of toasted brioche, fresh honey, and ripe orchard fruits.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1849 by Pol Roger in Aÿ before establishing its historic cellars along Épernay's Avenue de Champagne in 1851, Champagne Pol Roger remains one of the preeminent family-owned Grandes Marques. The house oversees approximately 92 hectares of sustainably farmed estate vineyards across the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, and Vallée de la Marne, rooted in quintessential Campanian chalk and limestone soils. Pol Roger is renowned for vinifying exclusively in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with systematic double débourbage à froid and full malolactic conversion, preserving pristine varietal fruit and crisp structure. Aging takes place in deep, chalk-carved cellars reaching depths of 33 meters, where prolonged cool secondary fermentation produces exceptionally fine perlage, complemented by traditional hand-riddling. Celebrated for its historic British connection and royal warrants, the maison's portfolio is anchored by the balanced Brut Réserve NV and reaches its apotheosis in the robust, Pinot Noir-dominated prestige Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill, alongside its library Vinothèque releases.
