Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
A razor-sharp acidity carried by zesty citrus and a taut, saline finish — the hallmark of the great chalky Grands Crus.
Roundness
Slender and linear in profile, with just enough weight to underpin the structure without tipping into heaviness.
Power
Incisive and tightly wound, with a memorable presence on the palate — more chiselled than the opulent richness of 2015.
Length
A persistent finish with saline and mineral overtones, a faithful echo of the Côte des Blancs terroir.

TASTING NOTES

Pale crystalline gold in the glass, with a fine and persistent effervescence. The nose opens on fresh pear, lemon zest and a delicate trail of white blossom, with a hint of brioche and a light reductive note that lifts beautifully with aeration. On the palate, the wine is precise and incisive — a vivid acidity cuts through to a long, saline and mineral finish of remarkable purity.

Terroirs

An exclusive blend of six Grands Crus from the Côte des Blancs — Oiry, Chouilly, Cramant, Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger — all sourced from the 2016 vintage, hand-harvested and hand-pressed. The chalky subsoil of this exceptional terroir lends the wine its characteristic mineral tension and remarkable ageing potential.

Pol Roger

About this house

Founded in 1849 by Pol Roger in Épernay, the house has remained family-owned across five generations, guided by a philosophy of artisanal excellence and distinguished restraint. Its cellars, carved 33 metres beneath the city, ensure a slow and even maturation — the foundation of a style that unites freshness, elegance and extraordinary longevity.

Legendary favourite of Winston Churchill — who inspired one of its most iconic prestige cuvées — Pol Roger stands as the quintessential champagne of the table. Its vintage Blanc de Blancs, produced in limited quantities from the finest Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs and aged for over six years in the cellar, represents the most refined expression of this century-old savoir-faire.
