Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This prestige cuvée reveals an expressive bouquet of toasted brioche, hazelnut, citrus blossom, and hints of honeyed apricot. On the palate, it delivers a sumptuous texture, refined mousse, and complex layers of ripe orchard fruit, almond, and subtle spice, all underscored by a vibrant mineral backbone and a long, creamy, precise finish. A superb companion for elegant occasions, it pairs beautifully with lobster thermidor, creamy chicken supreme, or a selection of aged Comté cheese, highlighting its depth and structure.
Winery Background Founded in 1849, Pol Roger remains one of Champagne’s few esteemed family-owned houses, renowned for its steadfast commitment to tradition and meticulous craftsmanship. The Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill, first released in 1984, is produced only in exceptional vintages and in limited quantities, with a blend dominated by Pinot Noir complemented by Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards historically favored by Churchill. Each bottle undergoes extended lees aging, contributing to its remarkable complexity and age-worthiness. Pol Roger’s philosophy emphasizes precision, patience, and a deep respect for terroir, resulting in Champagnes that consistently enchant with their elegance, depth, and refined character.
