THE BRAND

The history of the Pol Roger Champagne House began in 1849 in Aÿ, when the latter, a native of the region, made his first wine sale at just 18 years old. Despite his young age, family circumstances led him to quickly assume responsibilities. The death of his father, a notary, forced him to take charge of the family finances. In 1851, the family moved to Épernay, where the business still thrives today. In 1855, Pol Roger began producing brut champagne, thus favoring the taste appreciated by the English. Upon his death in 1899, his sons, Georges and Maurice, took over, followed by their own descendants a few years later. Today, most of the major Champagne Houses have been acquired by large groups and have lost their independence, like Maison Salon, which was bought by the Laurent-Perrier group. However, the Pol Roger Champagne House remains an independent family business. This rarity gives an additional charm to the Roger family heritage, in a landscape where few Houses can boast such autonomy and this family tradition preserved to this day.
