Tasting notes

Pol Roger, founded in Épernay in 1849 by an eighteen-year-old of that name, is one of the last grandes marques still owned and run by the founding family, now in its sixth generation.

The house has kept its own pace through every vintage, and the cellar still works the way it always has: one press, one tank, one decision at a time.

Everything here is allowed to settle slowly. The wines rest longer than the market asks for, and the family tastes the whole range before anything leaves the cellar.

What follows is written from visits, from bottles opened too early and a few opened at exactly the right moment.

Churchill drank it daily, named a racehorse after it, and never once visited — and the house still turns every bottle by hand.
