The blend includes up to 10% reserve wines, which may be up to fifteen years old.

Pol Roger owns 200 acres of vineyards, which provide about 45% of their needs. Pol Roger's cellars extend over four miles of winding chalk passageways on two levels. The second or deeper cellar maintains a constant 9.5º C (50º F), one degree lower than the first level and most others in the region. This lower temperature slows the second fermentation, encouraging a finer mousse or bubbles. Pol Roger Champagne also spends two to three times the allowable minimum in the cellar before disgorgement, or about three years for the non-vintage and up to seven for the luxury cuvées. The long, slow maturation contributes greatly to the complex aromas, which distinguish these superb Champagnes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 4px 0px 15px; font-family: BentonRegular; line-height: 21.6px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe Brut Non Vintage blend is traditionally composed from about 30 to 35 still base wines, drawn from different vineyard sites, grape varieties and vintage years.

The cuvée Coeur de Pinots was born in 2014, derived from the inspiration of Matthias Desruets, the 6th generation of the Desruets legacy.
