Pol Roger Champagne
Established in 1849, Pol Roger remains family-owned and proudly independent to this day. As one of the smaller champagne houses, it owns 87 hectares of vineyards on prime sites in the Vallée d'Epernay and the Côte des Blancs. Its cellars, extending to 7 km, lie below the streets of Epernay and are among the deepest and coolest cellars in the region: contributing to the slow maturation and creation of fine, persistent bubbles which are the hallmark of all their champagnes.
Pol Roger was born on 24th December 1831 in the village of Aÿ. Pol set up as a négociant at the age of 17. In 1849 he founded the new champagne house, which created its own cuvées rather than reselling champagnes. Today, the company has grown to around 1.5 million bottles per annum. Pol Roger UK is one of the company's most important markets, with its champagnes being served at the Royal Wedding.
