Pol Roger Champagne Sir Winston Churchill 2015

The 2015 Sir Winston Churchill is a champagne of majestic depth and tranquillity. The nose reveals brioche, roasted hazelnut, white peach, citrus zest and a hint of smoke. Dense and creamy on the palate, yet precisely controlled; the perlage is silky, the acidity clear, fresh and supportive. The balance between fruit, acidity and texture remains exemplary, the finish is cool, precise and long, the aftertaste long, salty and noble. Critics praise the vintage with up to 97 points (including Decanter) and emphasise the combination of tension and grandeur. First peak around 2030 with reserves until 2045+.
