Fresh white bread, chocolate notes, nougat, citrus fruit and, orange blossom and orange peel are the aromas that make a champagne that is both rich and full-bodied as well as fresh and fine, already seductive, without questioning the great future. It went through a more difficult phase that Richard Juhlin calls knotted, which explains his conservative Rating of 91(95). For us it Winston Churchill 2008 is one of the very best champagnes of this exceptional year. It is already excellent if you open it four to five hours before drinking.
Winston Churchill is still an insider champagne. With 5% of the quantities of Dom Perignon produced per vintage, it is also rare. In addition, fewer vintages are declared. 2008 is the 15th Winston Churchill ever. Together with Cristal and Comtes de Champagne, Winston Churchill is one of our personal favourites. There are several great, full-bodied, concentrated Pinot Noir-based champagnes at the highest level. La Grande Annee, Clos des Goisses, R.D. Winston Churchill, however, has a special charm and elegance. Creamy fruit meets mineral precision. The texture on the palate is indescribable. These are also characteristics that apply to Cristal, but it is a completely different drinking experience. Words reach their limits here. You simply have to try it.
The first Winston Churchill is 1975, which was only bottled in magnums. It was presented in 1984 at Blenheim Palace, the Churchill family's grand country estate. Pol Roger calls his Prestige Cuvee Winston Churchill because he was one of the house's most loyal customers. He was also a friend of the Pol Roger family.
