Firm but creamy structure, with good deep, zesty fruit.
Pol Roger Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill 1999
Pinot Noir dominates the blend, with Chardonnay making up
the remainder; all from Grand Cru vineyards and only made in
the very best vintages. A clear yellow-gold in colour, the wine is
overt and generous with hints of fresh butter, nuts and even
tobacco. The initial freshness tends to give way to a more
powerful range of deeper aromas such as liquorice, wood and
leather and reveals the great complexity which is a hallmark of
the 1996 vintage. Given its youth the wine still holds a lot in
reserve but it has a masculine structure and phenomenal
length. Ideal as an accompaniment to roasted game, it manages
to retain a balance between force and finesse, presence and
delicacy.

exceptional flavour.

This is the same as the Brut Reserve, except with an increased
dosage of 34 g/l. The nose opens with beguiling hints of
beeswax and apricot which are repeated on the palate and
reinforced with notes of acacia honey. Despite the sweetness it
is remarkably refreshing and the acidity cuts right through the
heart of the champagne leaving the palate cleansed. This would
be the perfect toast to serve with wedding cake.
