Winston Churchill loved Champagne. In 1946, he even wrote, "I could not live without Champagne. In victory, I deserve it. In defeat, I need it." While he enjoyed several brands (Möet & Chandon, Giesler, and Pommery), none could surpass his love of Pol Roger. As a result, the Champagne house not only named a cuvée after him but also sent the British Prime Minister a case every year on his birthday. If Churchill were alive today, he'd surely fawn over this eponymous brut. Orchard fruit, orange zest, lemon, honey, mint, sage, and hints of brioche unfurl from the glass. A pillowy body reveals a fruity core with shimmering acids and a creamy, mousse-like finish. From start to finish, it is powerful and compelling without an ounce of unnecessary weight. As wine critic William Kelley noted in his review, "This is an elegant, penetrating rendition of Churchill that stands out for its charm and effortlessness." The Final Sip: You don't have to love Champagne as much as Winston Churchill to know that this brut cuvée has the power, grace, and structure to earn a spot in any cellar.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2013 Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill has turned out especially well, wafting from the glass with aromas of orange oil, confit lemon and crisp golden orchard fruit, complemented by subtle hints of brioche and clear honey. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and seamless, with a deep core of fruit, bright acids and a beautifully refined mousse, this is an elegant, penetrating rendition of Churchill that stands out for its charm and effortlessness.
Vinous
The 2013 Brut 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
