Champagne Pol Roger, established in 1849, remains family-owned and proudly independent to this day. The history and spirit of the company mirrors that of the family who bear the same name: a respect for nature, a devotion to quality and a certain joie de vivre.

As one of the smaller houses, Champagne Pol Roger 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 on three levels in the chalk 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 Pol Roger champagnes.

Pol Roger was Churchill's favourite champagne, and his relationship with the house was cemented when entranced by Odette Pol-Roger, when he met her at the British Embassy in November 1944. Churchill became Pol Roger's best, and certainly most influential, customer. After his death, Pol Roger placed a black border around the labels of Brut NV shipped to the UK. In 1984, The Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill was launched made from a secret blend, and only produced in exceptional years, is a Champagne of exquisite finesse and balance and one that rivals the very best of the region.
