Founded in 1849 in Épernay, Maison Pol Roger is one of the most prestigious Champagne houses. It was founded by Pol Roger, a young man of 18 with a passion for wine. The house quickly made a name for itself with the quality of its cuvées and conquered international markets, notably the UK, where it has become an essential reference.
What grape varieties does Pol Roger use?
Pol Roger mainly uses three grape varieties emblematic of Champagne: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Pinot Noir provides structure and power, Pinot Meunier offers roundness and fruitiness, while Chardonnay confers elegance and finesse. The house is particularly renowned for its well-balanced blends that bring out the best in each grape variety.
What is the winemaking process like at Pol Roger?
Winemaking at Pol Roger is marked by a respect for tradition and a constant quest for quality. The grapes are gently pressed to Extra extract the purest juice. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by partial or total malolactic fermentation, depending on the cuvée. The wine is then bottled with a liqueur de tirage for the prise de mousse, before aging on laths for several years.

The Pol Roger Brut Vintage 2018 is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from 20 Grands and Premiers Crus from Montagne de Reims and Côte des blancs. This Champagne was aged in the company's 33-meter-deep cellars prior to release.
Its color is a crystalline pale yellow, with fine effervescence and an elegant string of bubbles.
The nose is initially discreet, evolving towards aromas of fresh fruit such as pineapple and white peach, with hints of fresh butter and custard.
On the palate, it is round and full-bodied, with a marked freshness and well-balanced structure. Patisserie flavors emerge, with a slightly acidic finish, on citrus and lemon notes, offering a lovely sensation of freshness.
This Champagne shows good ageing potential.
