Pol Roger

Pol Roger is a champagne house in Épernay; its namesake made his first wine sale in January 1849. The house moved there from Aÿ in 1851, and Pol began favouring brut champagne production in 1855. Part of its cellars and buildings subsequently collapsed on 23 February 1900. In April 2018, Damien Cambres succeeded cellar master Dominique Petit. In November 2020, Bastien Collard de Billy joined as Secretary General, becoming the first member of the sixth generation to enter the house.

The house draws on a vineyard of 92 hectares. Its wines include a vintage rosé launched in 1961 and Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill, created in 1975 and inaugurated at Blenheim Palace exclusively in magnum. Rich, approaching demi-sec, was launched in 2001, followed by the addition of Pure Extra Brut to the range in 2007.
