Sir Winston Churchill 1998 - Pol Roger Champagne - Gift Set

Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill 1998 - The Champagne of Statesmen

The Churchill Legend: "My tastes are simple; I am easily satisfied with the very best." This quote from Sir Winston Churchill perfectly defines the wine that bears his name. First launched with the 1975 vintage, this prestigious wine is crafted in a robust, full-bodied, and mature style, just as the famous British Prime Minister appreciated it.

The 1998 Vintage: Power and Balance

The year 1998 offered ideal conditions for Pinot Noir, the dominant and secret grape variety of this cuvée. It provides structure and vinosity, while a touch of Chardonnay elegantly and subtly completes the whole. After more than 25 years, this 1998 has reached remarkable maturity, blending preserved freshness with tertiary complexity.

A Grand Cru Blend

Although Pol Roger keeps the exact blend a secret, it is known that only grapes from Grand Cru vineyards are selected. The cuvée only leaves the cellars after extended aging, far exceeding usual standards, to guarantee its signature "Churchillian" character of depth and nobility.

Tasting Notes: A Wine for Meditation

• Color: A deep, brilliant gold, testifying to exceptional concentration.
• Nose: Intense and complex. Aromas of dried fruit, toasted brioche, followed by notes of honey, candied citrus and light hints of roasting.
• Palate: A powerful and vinous attack. The texture is dense, almost sculpted, with incredibly fine bubbles. The finish is monumental, endlessly long with notes of nuts and sweet spices.

Presentation and Preservation

This 1998 bottle is in absolutely perfect cosmetic and sanitary condition. It is presented in its luxurious original midnight blue box. A collector's item that has been preserved with the utmost care, protected from all light and temperature variations.
