Description

This 2012 Sir Winston Churchill prestige cuvée is the 19th release since the inaugural vintage of 1975. The exact blend is a closely guarded family secret but it’s likely to be a Pinot Noir dominant wine. The nose shows tropical fruits, such as pineapples, and a rich lemon sherbet. On the palate, there are hints of grapefruits, raspberries and creamy pastry with a zesty flavour. It finishes on a refreshing, chalky-mineral note.

About this wine

The Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill 2012 is a testament to the illustrious partnership between the Champagne house and the famed British leader. Made from a selection of the finest grapes, this vintage is celebrated for its structured complexity, depth of flavor, and potential for aging. The 2012 vintage offers aromas of dried fruits, toasted nuts, and hints of brioche, with a creamy texture, fine bubbles, and a long, complex finish.

Sir Winston Churchill

The 'Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill' is Pol Roger's prestige cuvée, created in homage to Sir Winston Churchill, reflective of the qualities 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 composed exclusively of grapes from Grand Cru pinots and Chardonnays.
