Pol Roger Champagne began over 175 years ago, is a favourite Champagne among many British Army Regiments and famously of Sir Winston Churchill. Pol Roger was founded in 1849 and the brand is still owned and run by the descendants of Pol Roger, now in its 6th Generation.
'There is that moment when the spirit of Pol Roger is revealed. One may think one knows champagne and yet, that day, one truly discovers it.'
In its 175 years of history, Pol Roger has carved out one of the most flattering reputations in the select circle of the leading Champagne brands.
A Champagne maker from the village of Ay, he founded the Maison in the town of Epernay in the Champagne region, the House annually releases non-vintage cuvées, the Pure Brut (no added sugar), Brut Réserve as well as three other vintage wines, the Brut Vintage, Blanc de Blanc and Rosé Vintage and the house’s prestige label, the Vintage Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill.
'If I were to choose just one House from which to source a vintage Champagne to lay down, there is no question that I would choose Pol Roger'. Tom Stevenson.
WINSTON CHURCHILL'S FAVOURITE
“My tastes are simple, I am easily satisfied with the best”, Sir Winston Churchill. Churchill had a legendary thirst for Champagne most especially Pol Roger.
Champagne Pol Roger and Sir Winston Churchill's relationship dates back to a providential meeting at a luncheon given by the British Ambassador to France after the liberation of Paris. Attending was the 1928 Pol Roger and the beautiful Odette Pol-Roger as well as the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. A friendship was born which continued until Churchill’s death, yet links between the Pol-Roger and Churchill families are still as strong to this day.
