Founded in 1849 Pol Roger is generally regarded as one of the finest Champagne houses. It is known for the great style and finesse of its wines, particularly for its Cuvée Winston Churchill. Churchill was a great ambassador for the brand, being one of their most loyal customers, and even named a winning racehorse after Odette Pol-Roger, the wife of Jacques Pol-Roger, head of the firm. This top vintage Brut is made from 20 parcels of Grands and Premiers Crus grapes in the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs, and aged for seven years before release. No wonder it has so much depth and complexity. The long creamy mousse is said to be thanks to the depth of the ageing cellars. Superb freshness with ripe fruit, sweet spice and minerality.

"Cooked-apple and light honey aromas and flavors. Full body. Such balance and creaminess" James Suckling
