Pol Roger Winston Churchill 2008 Vintage Champagne is a stunning classic vintage from Pol Roger. Champagne Pol Roger created their Prestige Cuvée in homage to Sir Winston Churchill mindful of the qualities that he sought in his champagne: robustness, a full-bodied character and relative maturity. The exact blend is a closely guarded family secret but it is undeniable that the composition would meet with the approval of the man to whom it is dedicated "My tastes are simple, I am easily satisfied with the best".

Pinot Noir predominates, providing structure, breadth and robustness whilst Chardonnay contributes elegance, finesse and subtlety. Composed exclusively of grapes sourced from Grands Crus Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards which were already under vine during Churchill's lifetime. Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill is only made in the very best vintages and is always released later than the other vintage dated Champagnes from Pol Roger, marking Churchill's appreciation for older wines.

Sir Winston Churchill's lifelong attachment to Pol Roger was birthed through these classic traditions, who famously insisted: "In defeat I need it, in victory I deserve it."

Following some frost in December, the beginning of 2008 was marked by mild and humid weather conditions. However by contrast, March and April were cool and rainy, even hit by spells of snow and frost. Good temperatures in May rapidly boosted growth. The summer months were characterised by extremely variable weather, with storms in July, cool weather and limited sunny periods in August. The Véraison (changing of colour and onset of ripening) started in early August and by this point, the conditions in the vineyard were outstanding. September brought excellent weather, and the picking started on 15th September in sunny conditions. The grapes were healthy, and the sugar/acidity balance, was perfect.
Opulent gold in colour enlivened by a fine, harmonious stream of bubbles. A rich nose boasts notes of white flowers and freshly baked brioche aromas. As the wine warms in the glass, it exudes scents of dried fruits and toasted almonds and hazelnuts, combined with a hint of orange zest. Well-balanced palate with refreshing flavours of citrus fruit, notably grapefruit, and creamy pastry notes. A long, lingering finish indicates that this wine has fantastic ageing potential.
The weight, balance and mineral freshness of this champagne could be prepared with Parmigano Reggiano matured for 18 months, a stuffed capon or sweetbreads cooked with morels.
