Pol Roger 2012 Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill Brut Champagne

The great 2012 vintage shows well in this rich, full Champagne. Dominated as usual by Pinot Noir, the wine is powerfully ripe and impressively full of white fruits and tight minerality. Ready to drink from 2022, it is worthy of aging and certainly drinkable even in 10 years time.  99 PointsWine Enthusiast, October 2021

The Sir Winston Churchill cuvée is only made in the best vintages with the best Grand Crus grapes in the style Churchill favoured – “robust, a full-bodied character and relative maturity”. The exact proportions of grape varieties used is a closely-guarded family secret although it is made almost entirely with Pinot Noir, with a small proportion of Chardonnay, which brings “acidity and a strong backbone” to the expression that’s important for “long ageing”, according to Pol Roger president, Laurent d’Harcourt.
