Description
Pol Roger, founded in 1849 in Épernay, is one of Champagne’s most respected houses, known for its elegance, balance, and deep ties to Britain. Still family-owned, Pol Roger has long been admired for producing wines that embody finesse and richness in equal measure. Its relationship with the United Kingdom dates back to the 19th century when it received a royal warrant in 1877, but it was in the 20th century that this connection reached legendary status — through Sir Winston Churchill.
Pol Roger champagnes are distinguished by their elegance, subtlety, and harmonious balance. Great attention is paid to the highest quality grapes and the meticulous winemaking process, aiming to create refined and complex champagnes.Pol Roger non-vintage champagnes are usually aged for at least three years, while vintage and prestige cuvée are aged even longer, thus gaining even more subtle nuances and elegance. Pol Roger champagnes can be enjoyed both in their youth and after they have matured.
Tasting Notes
The 2019 Brut Vintage is soft, open-knit and very approachable. A Champagne of inner strength, the 2019 comes across as a bit closed today, which is surprising given the style of the vintage. Soft curves and silky contours add to the wine’s considerable appeal. Floral and orchard fruit overtones linger. I have a feeling there is more here. This is rather quiet today.[92+ Points, Antonio Galloni, May 2026, vinous.com]
