Flavour Profile
Founded in 1849, Pol Roger has built a reputation as one of the finest producers in Champagne, famous for Champagnes of tremendous elegance. Pol Roger’s Champagnes have been enjoyed by royalty, world leaders and glitterati from the very first release and their most notable advocate was Sir Winston Churchill.
Churchill was a great ambassador for the brand, being one of its most loyal customers, even naming a winning racehorse after Odette Pol-Roger, the wife of Jacques Pol-Roger, head of the firm at that time. After his death, the Pol Roger house set about assembling a cuvée Sir Winston would have loved.
James Suckling described the 2015 as “Bold and rich … but with a great deal of subtlety and delicacy for the vintage … Great drive and persistence.” It’s predominately Pinot Noir, providing richness and depth, with Chardonnay (all Grand Cru) adding freshness and finesse.
Traditionally, this cuvée is released several years later than Pol Roger’s standard vintages, to reflect Sir Winston’s fondness for fine, aged Champagnes.
