2015, Champagne, Pol Roger, Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill

Tasting Note: A round and creamy Champagne with subtle hints of brioche and sweet spice combining with exotic fruit with nuances of pastries and cocoa.

About the Winery: Pol Roger is one of the few remaining great family-owned Champagne houses, renowned for consistent excellence and deep cellars in Epernay.

Grape Variety: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay – sourced from Grands Crus vineyards, thriving on chalk and limestone soils, producing wines of finesse and elegance. Pinot Noir contributes structure, depth, and intensity with notes of red berry, cherry, and gentle spice, delivering the wine’s body and length. Chardonnay brings finesse, citrus and floral lift, chalky tension, and the backbone of acidity that enhances precision and ageing potential.

Appearance: Bright golden hue with a fine, regular stream of bubbles.

Aroma: Aromas of dried fruit, peppered spice, and exotic fruit, with Pinot Noir suggesting red berries and subtle smoke, and Chardonnay adding citrus zest, white flowers, and chalky minerality.

Palate: Round and creamy with notes of brioche, fine concentration, smoky weight, and a terrific length on the finish. Pinot Noir drives structure and savory depth; Chardonnay contributes precision, freshness, and a refined, saline finish.

Body: Full - a round and creamy texture with significant weight and concentration.

Acidity: Medium - contributes to the wine's freshness and balance without being overly sharp.

Cellaring Potential: Long (10-20 yrs) - released later than other vintages, reflecting Churchill's appreciation for older wines, indicating excellent ageing potential.

Perfect Pairing: Seafood, Poultry, Cheese

Serving Temperature: 8–10°C
