Correct pronunciation of "Pol Roger"?

Post by Guest - Confused »

Over the past 3 days I have heard 4 versions of this marque from knowledgeable retailers and wine buffs. So, is it:

(1) Pol Roj-jheer

(2) Pol Roj-jay

(3) Pol Roj-jerr

(4) Pol Roj-uh?

Ta.

If you pronunce it the English way then it is #3, but the correct French pronunciation is #2.

I know a bloke in France - Roger - who pronounces his first name in line with option 1.
