Pol Roger Pure Extra Brut Champagne 75cl

CHAMPAGNE POL ROGER

Founded in Épernay in 1849, the Pol Roger House stands as one of the last great Champagne Houses to have remained both family-owned and fully independent. Across 92 hectares of some of the appellation's most prized hillsides, it produces Champagnes of a precision and consistency that have earned it enduring international respect.

A House rooted in Champagne's three great terroirs

Based at the heart of Épernay in the Marne, Champagne Pol Roger draws its character from vineyards spread across the three pillars of the appellation: the Montagne de Reims, the Côte des Blancs, and the Vallée de la Marne. This breadth of terroir gives the House's winemakers exceptional latitude in the blending room, allowing them to build Champagnes of both complexity and balance. The soils are predominantly chalk — in places the subsoil descends to a remarkable 33 metres — providing the natural drainage and mineral tension that are the hallmarks of great Champagne. The three classic varieties are all present: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay, each contributing its own register to the final assemblage.

Over 175 years of family independence

Since its founding in 1849, Pol Roger has never passed out of family hands — a distinction that sets it apart from most of its peers in the Champagne region. Today the House is directed by Laurent d'Harcourt as Président du Directoire, continuing a tradition of careful, long-term stewardship that prioritises style and quality over volume. That continuity is felt in the wines: there is a recognisable house signature — precise, taut, refined — that runs from the entry-level cuvées through to the prestige range. The House's connection with Britain runs deep: Sir Winston Churchill was a devoted admirer of Pol Roger, and the legendary Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill, created in 1975, stands as a permanent tribute to that friendship. It remains one of the most sought-after prestige cuvées in the appellation.

Responsible viticulture: HVE and Terra Vitis

Pol Roger holds both HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) and Terra Vitis certifications across its 92-hectare estate — a meaningful commitment to sustainable viticulture in a region where the pressures of large-scale production are considerable. These certifications reflect an ongoing effort to reduce chemical inputs, preserve soil health, and manage the vineyard in a manner respectful of its long-term future. For us at Halles Quercamps, this environmental engagement adds a further dimension to a House we already admire for its winemaking rigour.

The Pol Roger range

The House produces a focused range of Champagne cuvées, all effervescent, spanning several styles and ageing profiles:

• Brut Réserve — the House's flagship non-vintage, a benchmark of balance and finesse built on Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay
• Blanc de Blancs — a pure Chardonnay expression from the Côte des Blancs, elegant and mineral
• Blanc de Noirs — drawn exclusively from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, with depth and structure
• Vintage Champagnes — produced only in declared years, with extended ageing on the lees
• Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill — the prestige cuvée, a Pinot Noir-dominant blend of great complexity and cellaring potential
• Rosé — a refined, salmon-hued Champagne with characteristic Pol Roger precision

Why we have selected Pol Roger

At Halles Quercamps, we have listed Champagne Pol Roger for three reasons that matter to us as independent merchants. First, the consistency: over more than 175 years, this House has maintained a house style of real distinction — precise, taut, and fine — without chasing trends or compromising on élevage. Second, the independence: in a region dominated by large groups, Pol Roger remains genuinely family-run, and that shows in the care taken at every stage. Third, the British connection: the Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill is not a marketing exercise — it is rooted in a real and well-documented friendship, and it produces one of the appellation's most compelling prestige Champagnes. We recommend Pol Roger to confirmed Champagne enthusiasts looking for a House of genuine depth, as well as to those seeking a prestige gift with a story worth telling. At table, these Champagnes are as comfortable alongside a dressed crab or grilled sole as they are as an aperitif before a celebratory dinner.
