Pol Roger 2013 Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill Brut Champagne

Although ready to drink, this very fine Champagne has plenty of aging to go. With its rich Pinot Noir and ripe fruits, it is generous while also fully textured. Complex and balanced, mature fruit and toast working together, this is a great wine. 98 pointsWine Enthusiast, 12/ 2022

This Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill is fabulous. Rich and remarkably pure, the 2013 is super expressive right out of the gate. Bright saline notes cut through a core of lemon confit, dried flowers, apricot, tangerine peel, mint and sage. As compelling as the 2013 is, it really needs more time to open a bit. There is a feeling of transparency here that is so alluring. The 2013 is a terrific example of power with no excess weight in Champagne. I loved it. Disgorged: July 2021. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. 97 Points Vinous, 3/2022
