Pol Roger Brut Reserve is the house's "signature" cuvée, composed of more than 30 base wines drawn from at least two vintages and the three classic cépages, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Pol Roger Brut Reserve is never released until the youngest component is at least three years old and, to satisfy British preferences, the champagne is rested for an additional period after disgorging.
Handcrafted Since 1849 Pol Roger founded his renowned Champagne house in Epernay in 1849. Through five generations, his direct descendants have run this proudly independent family house, producing Champagnes of worldwide acclaim. The signature Champagne of the House, Brut Reserve is an equal blend of the three Champenois grape varieties: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, from 30 different crus. We use 25% reserve wines to produce this cuvee. After a minimum of three years ageing in our cellars, the style combines complexity, balance and distinction.

Vinification Details
Brut Réserve is made up of wines drawn from the cuvée (the first, light pressing) and where appropriate the taille (second pressing). After clarification of the must at 8ºC, a process unique to Pol Roger, the fermentation is thermoregulated to ensure the optimum retention of fresh fruit character and aromas. The wine is riddled by hand by a team of remueurs, a rarity in Champagne, then undergoes dégorgement à froid, a new technique for disgorging and finally a dosage of 12 g/l is added
