Pol Roger Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill Champagne 1999

Sir Winston Churchill was Pol Roger's most illustrious devotee and customer. This champagne is made in his honour. The composition of the blend is a closely guarded family secret but from tasting it is likely that the champagne features about 70 to 80 per cent Pinot Noir with the remainder made up from Chardonnay. The grapes are all from Grand Cru vineyards which were under vine during Churchill's lifetime and it is only ever made in the very best vintages. It is made in a style which Churchill himself favoured, robust, mature and long lived, featuring notes of white flowers, acacia honey, crisp citrus notes, warm apple fruit and spice.
