✨ Technical Specifications
Pol Roger's non-vintage Brut Réserve, affectionately known as 'White Foil,' is the definitive ambassador of the house style, representing a masterclass in consistency and balance. This cuvée is crafted from equal parts of Champagne's three primary grape varieties, sourced from 30 different crus. The house's legendary cellars in Épernay—descending 30 meters underground where temperatures remain a cool 9°C—allow for an exceptionally slow second fermentation, resulting in an incredibly fine, persistent mousse. Each bottle is aged for a minimum of four years on its lees before disgorgement, far exceeding the legal requirement. This patient maturation, combined with traditional hand-riddling, imparts a signature complexity, marrying fresh pear and brioche aromas with a rich, creamy texture that once captivated Sir Winston Churchill himself.
🍾 About the Producer
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.
