Founded by Pol Roger in 1849 and succeeded by his sons, Maurice and Georges. Fourth generation Christian Pol Roger and Cristian de Billy were succeeded by Hubert de Billy in 2013. The house now owns around 92 hectares, mostly around Epernay including Grand Crus Cremant, Chouilly and Avize on the Côtes de Blancs and Ambonnay, Bouzy & Verzy on the Montagne de Reims. Generally Pinot dominant, the collection of wines from the Non-Vintage Cuvees through to the stellar Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill show consistency of house style and a pedigree that is the envy of many other grand marques.
Disgorged June 2016
around 15% Montagne de Reims Pinot Noir red wine, purchased by the company 'because we are not good at vinifying red wine ourselves'; 65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay; from 20 grand crus and premier crus vilages in Montagne de reims and Cote des Blancs; full malolactic fermentation; 8g/L dosage
A medium to full-salmon hue heralds an expressive and characterful rose of beautifully defined red and black cherries, blackberries, pink pepper, tamarillos and even hint of pipe smoke.
Pinot noir takes a confident lead, contributing elegant fragrance and succulent flesh and body within the strict and consummately controlled mode of Pol Roger. The fine chalk minerality of the grand crus of the Cote des Blancs and Montagne De Reims draws out a long and refining finish, well supported by ultra-fine, impeccably handled tannins. A rose of character and finesse, it looks smarter than ever in its new mushroom-purple livery.
