✨ Technical Specifications
Pol Roger's Brut Réserve, affectionately known as the 'White Foil,' is the definitive signature of this historic Épernay house. The Pentland Edition represents an exclusive, specially designated release of this classic non-vintage cuvée, preserving the exact blend and rigorous craftsmanship of the traditional house style. Composed of equal parts Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay sourced from 30 distinct crus, the wine undergoes cool temperature fermentation in stainless steel followed by full malolactic fermentation. It is then aged for a minimum of four years in the house's legendary chalk cellars, situated 30 meters below ground, where the exceptionally cold, damp conditions encourage a remarkably fine, persistent mousse and deep complexity. This cuvée beautifully balances the structure and body of Pinot Noir with the round, fleshy fruit of Pinot Meunier and the elegant, mineral-driven freshness of Chardonnay.
🍾 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.
