Pol Roger Champagne Sir Winston Churchill Magnum 2013

Pol Roger's premium cuvée displays lots of yellow fruit, accompanied by hints of mandarin, freshly baked baguette and brioche. All this is embedded in a powerful yet supple and smooth body – thanks to Pol Roger's Pinot Noir-oriented style (although the house keeps the exact composition a secret). This champagne spent an impressive eleven years on the lees, and its ultra-fine mousse and creamy, melt-in-the-mouth texture are the reward for this patience. The grapes come exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards. The powerful yet highly elegant character of this Churchill suggests a pairing idea: combining the namesake's favourite champagne with his favourite cigar – a Romeo y Julieta in Churchill format, a.k.a. Julieta No. 2.
