Pol Roger has enjoyed a long and illustrious relationship with the British Royal Family, holding a Royal Warrant since the reign of Queen Victoria. This deep-seated connection was celebrated globally when Pol Roger's signature Brut Réserve NV was selected as the exclusive Champagne for the wedding reception of Prince William and Catherine Middleton at Buckingham Palace on April 29, 2011. Known affectionately as the 'White Foil', this classic cuvée represents the house style of equal parts Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay. The grapes are sourced from some of the finest crus across the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs. After traditional cool fermentation and a meticulous blending process, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation and is aged deep in the house's cold chalk cellars in Épernay, resulting in a Champagne of exceptional balance, fine mousse, and a complex nose of pear, brioche, and subtle spices.
