Pol Roger Reserve Brut Champagne - background knowledge*
The House of Champagne Pol Roger has cultivated the fine art of champagne for around 170 years. Founded in 1849 in Épernay, France, Maison Champagne has around 92 hectares of its own vineyards. Since these are in no way sufficient for their annual production volume of around 1.5 million liters of alcohol, close relationships have always been maintained with regional winegrowers. Pol Roger was and still is extremely popular, especially in royal families, and was – yes, one is proud of that – one of the favorites of a certain Sir Winston Churchill (that was the gentleman with the quote: “no sports”). Incidentally, a separate champagne was dedicated to him in his honour.
