Pol Roger

Founded in 1849 by 18-year-old Pol Roger in Aÿ before relocating to Épernay, Champagne Pol Roger quickly established a reputation for crafting dry, elegant brut Champagnes heavily favored by the British market. Following the founder's death in 1899, his sons adopted "Pol-Roger" as their family surname, cementing the brand’s legacy through a commitment to traditional methods, such as manual riddle aging in deep, cool chalk cellars. The house forged an iconic historic bond with Sir Winston Churchill—who famously favored their vintage cuvées and struck up a lifelong friendship with Odette Pol-Roger—leading to the creation of the prestige Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill in his honor. Today, Pol Roger remains one of the few prominent, fiercely independent, family-owned Champagne houses, producing world-renowned cuvées across five generations.
