POL ROGER Champagne var afdøde Sir Winston Churchill‛s foretrukne mærke. ”I am always content with the best” sagde den gamle herre om POL ROGER CHAMPAGNE. Winston Churchill var så glad for POL ROGER Champagne, at han opkaldte sin væddeløbshest efter sin yndlingschampagne. Den kunne han ikke undvære.

Pol Roger Cuveé Sir Winston Churchill. For champagneelskere verden over er POL ROGER Champagne etiketten med den kendte kursivskrift og det kongelige engelske våbenskjold til enhver tid den bedste garanti for kvalitet og god smag. Sådan har det været siden grundlæggelsen i 1849 og sådan vil det vedblivende være. Der blev serveret POL ROGER Champagne ved præsident Reagan‛s besøg i England, ved bryllupsreceptionen på Claridges i London da Prinsen af Wales blev gift med Lady Diana og da Dronning Elisabeth den Anden var til frokost hos præsident Jacques Chirac.

2008 Pol Roger - Robert Parker 96P
Sourced in grand cru vineyards and blending Pinot Noir with Chardonnay, Pol Roger's 2008 Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill displays an intense straw-yellow/white-golden color and opens with a beautifully deep, fresh, concentrated and beautifully aromatic bouquet of perfectly ripe tropical fruits, refreshing lemons, very fine vanilla and brioche aromas. The attack on the palate is fresh and finessed, and in the following seconds, the 2008 reveals great airiness, precision, purity and intensity with a firm, persistent structure in the long, refreshing, perfectly balanced and mouthwateringly salty finish. The 2008 Winston Churchill is a highly complex yet focused and vitalizing prestige cuvée of great, great finesse, chalky expression and exciting elegance. It already drinks great but also indicates immense aging potential. It's most likely one of the finest of this century and one of the greatest Churchills of modern times. Tasted from lot L82002894D in July 2018. Disgorgement date unknown. The wine will be released in the second half of this year.
