Released exclusively in outstanding vintages, Champagne Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill Brut 2015 represents one of the house’s most prestigious expressions. Produced in limited quantities, it is a Champagne prized by collectors and discerning enthusiasts who seek depth, heritage, and timeless refinement.
The bouquet is rich and layered, revealing aromas of ripe stone fruit and citrus, followed by nuances of brioche, honey, and subtle mineral notes. On the palate, the wine is commanding yet finely poised, offering a silky mouthfeel, generous fruit character, vibrant acidity, and a persistent finish marked by toasted nut tones.
This cuvée was conceived as a tribute to Sir Winston Churchill, capturing the qualities he admired most in Champagne: structure, maturity, and quiet strength. These attributes resonate with his well-known words, “My tastes are simple; I am easily satisfied with the best.”
First produced in 1975 to commemorate the long-standing friendship between Churchill and the Pol Roger family, the wine is crafted solely from Grand Cru vineyards. It is composed of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with the exact blend remaining a closely guarded family secret—Pinot Noir contributing power and backbone, while Chardonnay brings finesse and balance.
The distinctive chalk and limestone soils of Champagne lend a pronounced mineral character, while extended ageing of around ten years in the cellars adds complexity and depth. The 2015 vintage is particularly notable for its excellent grape maturity paired with naturally balanced acidity, ensuring both immediate harmony and long-term ageing potential.
Serve at 8–10 °C. Ideal as an aperitif and well suited to shellfish, lobster, and crab, as well as pan-fried liver accompanied by a cream and elk mushroom sauce.
Exclusivity and elegance – these two words best describe the Pol Roger champagne house, whose drink was particularly loved by Winston Churchill, and after whom the prestigious "Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill" is even named. For more than 170 years, the independent champagne house has been creating champagne from generation to generation since its founding in 1849, with each bottle testifying to their mastery. The winemakers personally select reliable grape growers and their offered grapes, and actively participate in the entire champagne production process. Pol Roger is also famous for its cool and deep cellars, which significantly influence the slow fermentation and subtle bubbles.
