Attending the lunch was the beautiful Odette Pol Roger as well as the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, with whom she struck up an instant rapport. A friendship was born which continued until Churchill’s death, creating links between the Pol Roger and Churchill families which are still as strong to this day. The pressures of his post sadly prevented Churchill from ever paying a visit to 44 Avenue de Champagne, the home of Champagne Pol Roger, but he nonetheless proclaimed it “the most drinkable address in the world”. As recompense for breaking his promise to visit he sent Odette a copy of his Memoirs inscribed “Cuvée de Réserve, mise en bouteille au Chateau de Chartwell”. He even named one of his racehorses “Pol Roger” and the filly strode to victory at Kempton Park in 1953, Coronation Year. The 21st vintage of the Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill is an alluring mid-yellow-gold with a fine stream of bubbles, both characteristics of the length of time this wine has spent in the famously cool Pol Roger cellars. The nose opens with notes of spices and pepper. A good intensity of black fruit follows, showing the fine concentration and density of the wine. The complexity is obvious: a bouquet of dried fruit and hazelnut overlayed with notes of exotic fruits. The aromas are particularly open and impressive. On the palate, candied fruit notes accompany hints of pastries, brioche and cocoa, broad and mouth-filling. Delightfully structured, the large proportion of Pinot Noir gives the roundness and gravity that one expects from this cuvée. Despite the wine’s relative youth, it is starting to show some smoky weight and good grip with broad, rich and long acidity. Full bodied and generous, the wine culminates with terrific length. Drink now or over the next 20 years.

In order to obtain its delicate colour and subtle nose 15% Pinot Noir, from selected vineyards in Bouzy, Ambonnay and Cumieres, is vinified “en rouge” and added to the blend prior to the second fermentation. Pale salmon with delicate pink hues. Great intensity of colour with a finevand persistent effervescence. The nose is intense and reminiscent of a basket of red fruits where raspberry, redcurrant and blackcurrant mingle, with the added nuances of exotic mango and papaya.

The Rich cuvée is a precise replica of the Brut Réserve Non-Vintage being blended from 30 still base wines from different vineyards, different vintages and the three main grape varieties which dominate the champagne region; Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. The Pinot Noir contributes body, depth of character and life-extending tannins. Chardonnay provides the lightness, elegance and finesse whilst Pinot Meunier supplies youthful freshness, vigour and plump character. What makes Pol Roger 'Rich' different from the Brut Réserve is the increased dosage of 34 g\/L of sugar which makes it the perfect drink for occasions when something a little less dry is called for.

Launched to showcase the raw potential of their vineyard holdings, this cuvée is bottled with zero dosage (no added sugar). It is a wine of precision, offering a sensory experience that is both bracing and profoundly rewarding for the adventurous palate. Creating a Non-Dosé Champagne of this calibre is an immense technical challenge; without the \"dosage\" to mask imperfections, the base wine must be flawless. Pol Roger achieves this through a meticulous equal-parts blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. The wine is then tucked away in the deepest, coolest reaches of their 33-metre-deep chalk cellars for at least four years. This extended lees aging is critical, providing the autolytic \"biscuit\" weight and velvety texture needed to balance the wine's vibrant, natural acidity. In the glass, 'Pure' is shimmering and gold with a remarkably fine, persistent mousse. The bouquet is a sophisticated invitation of white flowers, green apple, and wet stone, followed by a delicate hint of fresh bread crust. On the palate, the attack is electric and bone-dry, yet it reveals a surprising breadth of fruit - think grapefruit zest and white peach - all underpinned by a saline, mineral streak. The finish is incredibly clean, leaving a lingering impression of citrus and sea spray. As a wine of such structural integrity, Pol Roger Pure is a superlative aperitif, but it truly excels when paired with the \"briny\" treasures of the sea. Its lack of sugar makes it an unparalleled companion for: Freshly Shucked Oysters with a squeeze of lemon. Sashimi and Crudo where the wine’s acidity cuts through the richness of the fish. Tempura Vegetables or light, salty snacks.
