Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill 1998

The Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill was created as a tribute to the great man, as he was a close friend of the Pol-Roger family and long time consumer of the champagne. The Cuvée is consistently made in the style he preferred: robust, full-bodied, relatively mature and dominated by Pinot Noir which contributes firmness and backbone complemented by the ethereal elegance of Chardonnay. The Cuvée is composed of the only the finest grapes from the very best vineyards (and only those from within the Champagne area under vine in Sir Winstons day), chosen for declaration in only the best vintage years.

"Forward aromas of baked apple, almond and toast with a whiff of Sherry. Fresh tarte tatin, ginger and vanilla flavors laced with lively acidity. Lengthy, youthful close shows great aging potential."
