Created in honour of Winston Churchill, this is not just a Champagne, but a tribute to one of history’s most celebrated figures. Churchill’s long-standing devotion to Pol Roger dates back to 1908, with the cuvée designed to reflect his preferred style: powerful, structured and built to age.

Drawn exclusively from top Grand Cru vineyards, the blend is deliberately Pinot Noir-led, delivering depth, structure and authority, with Chardonnay adding precision and finesse. The exact composition remains a closely guarded secret, reinforcing its exclusivity and mystique.

Produced only in the finest vintages and aged extensively in Pol Roger’s deep, cold cellars, this cuvée is released significantly later than most vintage Champagnes. The result is remarkable complexity, ultra-fine mousse and exceptional ageing potential.

Tasting Notes

Pol Roger Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill 2018 exemplifies the art of Champagne making, created as a distinguished tribute to Winston Churchill’s enduring relationship with the house of Pol Roger. This prestigious cuvée embodies the powerful, structured style that Churchill admired, pairing strength with elegance and designed to evolve beautifully with age.

Sourced exclusively from premier Grand Cru vineyards, the 2018 vintage is predominantly Pinot Noir-driven, offering intense depth, robust structure, and commanding presence on the palate. Delicate notes from Chardonnay contribute precision, refined finesse, and balance, resulting in a complex yet harmonious blend. The exact proportions remain a closely guarded secret, adding to the wine’s exclusivity and allure.

The 2018 vintage stands out thanks to an almost perfect growing season in the Champagne region, characterized by optimal weather conditions that fostered ideal ripeness and balance in the grapes. This has translated into a Champagne with remarkable freshness combined with notable power and elegance, reflecting both the terroir’s unique qualities and Pol Roger’s visionary craftsmanship.

Produced only in exceptional years, Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill benefits from a lengthy maturation period in Pol Roger’s cool, deep cellars. This extended ageing fosters an ultra-fine mousse, enhanced complexity, and exceptional ageing potential, setting it apart from typical vintage Champagnes and ensuring longevity that appeals to collectors and enthusiasts alike.

This Champagne offers a refined texture and a rich bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, toasted brioche, and subtle spice, delivering an opulent and layered tasting experience. It is a masterclass in combining heritage, finesse, and strength, making it an iconic expression of Pol Roger’s legacy and one of the most prestigious cuvées available today.

Critic Scores

This has complex aromas of croissant, acacia flowers, raw walnuts, flint and oyster shells. Very sleek, tight and structured on the palate, showing elegance and chalky minerality underneath. Seamless, classy finish with a deliciously dry, lightly phenolic citrus pith character coming through. Grand cru pinot noir with some chardonnay. Disgorged June 2024. Drink now or hold.
