The Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill 2015 opens in the glass with aromas of candied citrus, ripe tree fruits, and dried white flowers, complemented by notes of honeycomb, freshly baked bread, and anise. Medium to full-bodied, vinous, and concentrated, it boasts lively acidity, a chalky texture, and a fine mousse. This naturally rich, gourmet Champagne is initially quite closed but will develop beautifully with bottle aging. The style is reminiscent of a modern version of the 1985.
