Sir Winston Churchill 1999 - Champagne Pol Roger - Gift Box

Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill 1999 - The Soul of a Leader

A Tribute to Strength: Created to honor Sir Winston Churchill, this cuvée is only produced in the most exceptional vintages. It reflects the qualities Churchill appreciated in Pol Roger: a robust structure, an assertive maturity, and a vinosity that allows the wine to age gracefully for decades.

A Vintage of Fullness and Generosity

The year 1999 yielded grapes of great maturity, producing full-bodied and fleshy wines. After more than two decades of resting, this Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill has achieved a masterful balance. It combines the residual freshness of Grand Cru Chardonnays with the dominant power of Pinot Noirs, whose exact blend remains one of Champagne's best-kept secrets.

Sensory Profile: Complexity and Depth

• Appearance: A deep, brilliant gold, with an effervescence that has become extremely fine and creamy.
• Nose: An aristocratic bouquet opening with notes of candied fruit, acacia honey, and toasted hazelnuts, evolving towards hints of undergrowth and warm pastries.
• Palate: The attack is vinous and imposing. The wine has remarkable density, a velvety texture, and an incredibly persistent finish, marked by notes of bitter orange zest.

Bottle and Box Condition

This 1999 bottle is in excellent condition. Stored in a natural cellar, the wine has benefited from optimal hygrometric conditions. The original box is present; although it shows very slight signs of wear, it has perfectly protected the label and foil, which are impeccable. This guarantees a sound bottle, ready for a grand occasion.

WUAT's Opinion

The Winston Churchill 1999 is a gastronomic Champagne par excellence. Churchill himself would not have conceived of drinking this wine without a meal worthy of its name. We recommend serving it with capon with morels, an aged Comté cheese, or turbot in cream sauce. It is a tasting experience that commands respect, a true "wolf" that has traded its cashmere for a bespoke tweed suit.
