Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill, Champagne, 2009, 75cl

Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill 2009 is a luxurious vintage champagne from Champagne, France, created as the house's prestige cuvée in honour of Sir Winston Churchill. Pol Roger themselves describe the champagne as inspired by the qualities Churchill sought in his champagne: robustness, fullness, and maturity. The 2009 vintage is only produced in the best years and is released later than the house's other vintage champagnes to achieve extra complexity and depth.

The wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards, where Pinot Noir dominates, providing structure, breadth, and power, while Chardonnay adds elegance, finesse, and freshness. The precise blend is traditionally kept secret by the Pol Roger family, but the house's official material emphasizes this stylistic balance. The champagne undergoes full malolactic fermentation, and the secondary fermentation takes place deep in Pol Roger's cool cellars, where it is also riddled by hand. The dosage for 2009 is 7 g/l.

In the glass, Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill 2009 presents a golden colour and fine, persistent mousse. The house's own tasting notes describe aromas of dried fruit, spices, candied notes, and a hint of nuts, while the taste is full-bodied, complex, and elegant with freshness and a long, persistent finish. The style is classic prestige champagne with depth, maturity, and excellent aging potential.

This exclusive champagne pairs particularly well with lobster, scallops, veal, light poultry, truffle dishes, and elegant servings where the wine's structure and mature complexity can unfold. Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill 2009 is an obvious choice for the champagne lover seeking a great wine experience with history, character, and collector's potential. The product is delivered in 75 cl.
