TASTING NOTES

Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill 2015 is a masterful expression of Champagne crafted in tribute to one of history’s most iconic figures. Revered for its robustness, full-bodied character, and mature elegance, this prestigious cuvée embodies the discerning tastes of Sir Winston Churchill himself, who famously said, "My tastes are simple, I am easily satisfied with the best."

This exceptional Champagne is predominantly composed of Pinot Noir, which imparts remarkable structure, depth, and power, while Chardonnay adds layers of finesse, elegance, and subtle complexity. Uniquely, the grapes are sourced exclusively from Grands Crus vineyards of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that were already established during Churchill’s lifetime, ensuring a historic connection and unparalleled quality.

Only produced in the finest vintages, the 2015 release marks the 21st vintage of this iconic cuvée. It is aged longer than other Pol Roger vintage champagnes, reflecting Churchill’s preference for wines with greater maturity and complexity. The 2015 vintage benefits from an excellent growing season in the Champagne region, known for its balance of warm summers and cool nights, which fostered optimal ripening and vibrant acidity.

Esteemed wine critic James Halliday awarded this cuvée an impressive 98 points, underscoring its status as one of Pol Roger’s top wines. Its refined bouquet reveals aromas of ripe orchard fruits, toasted brioche, and subtle hints of honey and nuts. On the palate, it is rich and creamy with a persistent finish, making it a distinguished choice for celebratory occasions or sophisticated pairings.
