Description

The production process typically involves maturing their champagne in their cellars for an extended period of time, allowing the flavours to develop and mature. Pol Roger owns approximately 92 hectares of vineyards in the Champagne region, primarily located in the Vallée de la Marne, Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims. Through full ownership of the vineyards, they have control over the quality of their grapes and are able to maintain a high level of consistency in their wines.
The Sir Winston Churchill Cuvée is one of Pol Roger’s most prestigious and well-known champagne offerings. It was first introduced in 1984 as a tribute to British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, who was a great admirer of Pol Roger Champagne. Churchill was known to enjoy Pol Roger Champagne, and the house had a special bond with him. Produced in limited quantities and only in exceptional vintages, the Sir Winston Churchill Cuvée is a high-quality vintage champagne that is considered one of Pol Roger’s finest. Typically a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it undergoes extensive cellar ageing to achieve the desired complexity and elegance. Pol Roger’s dedication to quality, their historical significance and their association with iconic figures such as Sir Winston Churchill have contributed to their esteemed reputation in the world of champagne production. Their wines are often celebrated for their finesse and elegance, making them a popular choice among champagne enthusiasts and collectors.

Richer and fleshier than the 2013, the 2012 Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill offers up aromas of ripe citrus and orchard fruits mingled with buttered toast, hazelnuts and confit peach. Full-bodied, layered and gourmand, with an enveloping core of fruit, excellent depth at the core and a pretty pinpoint mousse, it remains harmonious and precise despite its broader-shouldered format.
Pol Roger releases the 2012 Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill this week, so in the interests of timeliness, I'm publishing this tasting note in advance of a substantial Champagne report slated for later this month. In that report, readers can look forward to—inter alia—reviews of Pol Roger's other current releases. But in the meantime, this superb 2012 merits serious attention.

Intense aromas of strawberry and subtle apple with pie crust and some ash and stone. An almost smoky undertone to the aromas. Full-bodied and very layered with ultra fine tannins that give it a rough-cut, velvety texture. It’s very flavorful, yet so checked and reserved at the same time. Compact, tight palate that is deep and powerful. Very vinous at the end and in the mouth feel. Spicy and biscuity at the finish. Mostly pinot noir with chardonnay and only grand cru. More density and complexity than the 2008. Seven years on the lees. Delicious and luxurious to drink now, but giving this some age will make it even better.

Pol Roger's flagship Brut Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill is fabulous in 2012. Rich, open-knit and seductive, the 2012 will drink well right out of the gate, although it certainly has the pedigree to age well for decades. Lemon confit, chamomile, dried flowers, mint, spice and a kick of brioche infuse the 2012 with notable textural richness and resonance. Time in the glass brings out gorgeous aromatic lift to round things out. The 2012 is classy and polished all the way.
