✨ Technical Specifications
Champagne Pol Roger Cuvée de Réserve Vinothèque represents an extended-aged expression of the house's signature style. Pol Roger, founded in Épernay in 1849, is renowned for its traditional approach, utilizing equal parts Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier sourced from premier and grand cru vineyards. The Vinothèque releases undergo exceptionally long maturation on its lees in deep chalk cellars, allowing the wine to develop complex autolytic character while preserving vibrant acidity and fine effervescence.
🍾 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.
