Pol Roger Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill 2018

Description

Product Description: Authority, refinement, and aristocratic structure define the Pol Roger Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill 2018, a prestige Champagne created in honour of one of the House’s most devoted admirers. Produced only in exceptional vintages and released with deliberate patience, this cuvee reflects the enduring philosophy shared between Pol Roger and Churchill himself; a preference for Champagnes of strength, depth, and unwavering character. The 2018 vintage offered both generosity and precision, allowing the wine to achieve impressive concentration while preserving the freshness required for long ageing. It is a Champagne built not merely for celebration, but for legacy. Drawn exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards that were historically favoured for the Churchill blend, the wine leans toward a Pinot Noir-led structure, supported by Chardonnay for elegance and lift. Extended maturation on the lees develops remarkable complexity, layering richness with tension and quiet power. Despite its stature, the wine remains impeccably controlled, revealing flavours gradually rather than all at once. The mousse is fine and persistent, carrying the palate toward a finish that feels both commanding and graceful. While approachable with careful aeration, this is a Champagne destined to evolve beautifully over decades, rewarding collectors and connoisseurs who value patience. It pairs effortlessly with refined cuisine; from lobster and turbot to truffle-accented dishes, yet possesses enough presence to be contemplated entirely on its own. Tasting Notes NOSE – Deep and sophisticated Aromas of ripe orchard fruit, baked apple, and lemon curd layered with toasted brioche, hazelnut, honey, and subtle spice. With air, delicate mineral tones emerge, adding definition. PALATE – Powerful yet impeccably composed Full-bodied with notes of pear, stone fruit, almond cream, and pastry balanced by vibrant acidity. Pinot-driven structure provides breadth, while Chardonnay contributes finesse and lift.
