Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill 2018 Gift Box

In their words - The brilliant golden hue and delicate bubbles of this 2018 are a testament to the champagne's long ageing in the Champagne House's deepest cellars. The well-balanced nose is still shy but already shows a lovely polish. Notes of white flowers, citrus and dried apricot mingle with aromas of blond tobacco and gently peppered sweet spices. On the palate, the wine is clean with a vibrant freshness. Minerality and tension are interwoven in a structure that is both complex and elegant. The build of the palate is both energetic and refined. The aromas of blood orange and pastry are beautifully complemented by a hint of fresh raspberry. The finish is long, generous and full of promise.

Critics thoughts -   “Like a finely tailored suit, this exhibits impeccable harmony, class and attention to detail. Integrates a firmly structured spine of acidity with flavors of ripe plum, candied lemon peel, lightly toasted hazelnut, brioche and chamomile, caressing the palate with the plushly creamy mousse. Long on the finish, with mineral, graphite and spice hints, this is hard to stop sipping now but should reward those who wait with even greater expression in years to come”.  97 points Wine Spectator 

“This warm-vintage edition of Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill opens with a lush, smoke-tinged nose layered with opulent fruit. Crunchy red apple, sweet yellow peach, andpoached pear are complemented by a fine touch of white pepper, hinting at the wine’s budding complexity. Round, full, and voluptuous on the palate, it combines both muscleand finesse. Airy sophistication enhances its appeal. A pleasure to enjoy today, this winealso has the structure and depth to continue improving for more than a decade.”  95 points Club Oenologique Champagne Report
