The title of this blog will mean nothing to you if you are not a Champagne drinker, however if you are the only thing I have to say to you is, get involved!
As the Pol Roger website states, “Sir Winston Churchill was Pol Roger’s most illustrious devotee and customer. This champagne is made in his honour” www.polroger.co.uk.
Having had the 1996 vintage I can say that it is now one of my favourites too and is rivalling my love for Bollinger. The same style can be seen in the two brands, a more mature biscuity nose and palate and with bubbles so fine that you would be hard pressed to see them in the glass. This champagne is a real winner. The NV is also a delight and after being left in the right conditions can mimic to some extent the characteristics of the Winston Churchill vintage however if you have a special occasion and can afford the upgrade, go for it and you will not be disappointed!
Pol Roger can be purchased at Majestic Wine, Oddbins and other online retailers.
