Magnum of Champagne Pol Roger Brut Reserve NV

Champagne from France - Champagne

2 Reviews

With choice plots in the Côte des Blancs and Vallée de la Marne, and the expertise of six generations of family ownership, Pol Roger craft the bone-dry, clean-cut, floral character of Brut Réserve with impressive consistency. A three-way blend of the trio of Champagne varieties, with the toastiness of lengthy yeast-lees-ageing and a famously fine mousse that never fails to hit the spot, this is a gorgeous aperitif, with the structure to partner food – notably fish and chips! A great Champagne is the ultimate celebratory bottle, or even better, magnum.

Pol Roger

Pol Roger founded his eponymous house in 1849 and earned his living largely by making Champagne for other houses. Although the business started without an inch of vineyard to its name, it gradually acquired land of its own and now has 55 hectares in and around Epernay, including important sites on the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims as well as numerous other vineyard plantings.

Pol Roger was known to be the favourite Champagne of Winston Churchill who was quoted as proclaiming, “In victory, deserve it. In defeat, need it!”. The prestige wine, Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill, was released as a tribute and although the blend is a closely guarded secret, it is believed to be pinot noir-dominated, reflecting the style that Churchill preferred.

Still run by descendants of the founder, Pol Roger is classic grande marque Champagne with a tremendous reputation rooted in the style and finesse of all its cuvées. It also has the kudos of being one of the few houses to hold the Royal Warrant. A blanc de blancs and a rosé, both vintage-dated are also produced, the former in tiny quantities.
