Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill Champagne 2015 Gift Boxed

The 21st vintage of the Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill is an alluring mid-yellow-gold with a stream of bubbles. Both characteristics of the length of time this wine has spent in the famously cool Pol Roger cellars.

• The nose opens with notes of spices and pepper. A good intensity of black fruit follows, showing the concentration and density of the wine.
• The complexity is obvious: a bouquet of dried fruit and hazelnut overlaid with notes of exotic fruits
• The aromas are particularly open and impressive
• On the palate, candied fruit notes accompany hints of pastries, brioche and cocoa, broad and mouth-filling
• Delightfully structured, the large proportion of pinot noir gives the roundness and gravity that one expects from this cuvee
• Despite the wine’s relative youth, it is starting to show some smoky weight and good grip with broad, rich and long acidity
• Full bodied and generous, the wine culminates with terrific length
