The Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill from Maison Pol Roger is a prestige champagne that pays tribute to Sir Winston Churchill by embodying the qualities he most appreciated in champagne: robustness, structure and maturity. This brut champagne is made exclusively from grapes from the Grands Crus vineyards of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs, already cultivated in Churchill's time. The cuvée is only produced in the best vintages, and 2015 marks the 21st vintage since its creation in 1975. After vinification in stainless steel vats and malolactic fermentation, this 2015 vintage ages slowly in the cellars of Maison Pol Roger, where each bottle is stirred by hand according to the traditional method. This vintage champagne is distinguished by a brilliant gold color and a bead of very fine bubbles. Its expressive nose reveals notes of spices, pepper and menthol nuances, before opening up with generous aromas of candied fruits, dried fruits, papaya and mango. On the palate, the champagne shows great generosity, with aromas of candied fruits supported by notes of pastries, brioche and cocoa. The 2015 Sir Winston Churchill cuvée is characterized by a remarkable length, ideal for moments of haute cuisine. This champagne is perfect as an aperitif. However, it can also accompany an entire meal. To best appreciate it, the Sir Winston Churchill cuvée is served at 11°C.

THE BRAND
The history of the Pol Roger Champagne House began in 1849 in Aÿ, when the latter, originally from the region, made his first wine sale at just 18 years old. Despite his young age, family circumstances led him to quickly assume responsibilities. The death of his father, a notary, forced him to take charge of the family finances. In 1851, the family moved to Épernay, where the company still thrives today. In 1855, Pol Roger began producing brut champagne, thus focusing on the taste appreciated by the English. When he died in 1899, his sons, Georges and Maurice, took over, followed by their own descendants a few years later. Today, most of the large Champagne Houses have been acquired by large groups and have lost their independence, like Maison Salon, bought by the Laurent-Perrier group. On the other hand, the Pol Roger Champagne House remains an independent family business. This rarity gives an additional charm to the heritage of the Roger family, in a landscape where few Houses can boast such autonomy and this family tradition preserved to this day.
