About this Item

Pol Roger
Sir Winston Churchill 1999
2 (1 x 2) 750ml
Champagne Pol Roger created their Prestige Cuvée in homage to Sir Winston Churchill mindful of the qualities that he sought in his champagne : robustness, a full-bodied character and relative maturity. The exact blend is a closely guarded family secret but it is undeniable that the composition would meet with the approval of the man to whom it is dedicated : "My tastes are simple, I am easily satisfied with the best". Pinot Noir predominates, providing structure, breadth and robustness whilst Chardonnay contributes elegance, finesse and subtlety.

Critics Ratings

'Full, rich, pure and still full of powerful baked citrus fruit. Toast and petrichor on the finish. This is champagne at its fullest, really peacocking. Emphatically Pinot Noir with all that strength and structure. Utterly delicious and elemental.' - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 19/20 (Nov 2022)

'With its richness and great density of flavor, this is always a great Champagne. This 1999 is rounder than some vintages, less mineral, while still retaining the balance between white fruit and toast. It is still young, still tightly textured and ageworthy over several years.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 96/100 (Dec 2011)
