Not at all exciting on release, but at our tasting the greatness and maturity showed in an aristocratic way. Nice, smoky complexity. Fat and already mature with strong liquorice and dark chocolate notes. (One of Juhlin's top 20 prestige Champagnes.) Drinking range: 2014 - 2020 Rating: 95 Decanter Magazine (Oct 2014)

Where to start with such a sublime and focussed wine? Well, it's crystal clear focus is a thing to behold; tight, sharp, fresh, and yet there's full, frank and unapologetic richness too, think brioche and caramelised nuts. Serious and sumptuous, snap it up while you can. Rating: 95 The Wine Gang - www.thewinegang.com (May 2013)

The first thing that is evident about the 2000 Brut Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill is its finesse and total silkiness. The 2000 is a rich, creamy and deeply expressive Winston Churchill. I don't see the 2000 being an especially long-term ager, but it is wonderfully radiant and open today. Hints of pastry, spice, apricots and succulent ripe pears blossom on the expansive, broad-shouldered finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2030. Rating: 94 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Feb 2013)

Champagne Pol Roger

Champagne Pol Roger is one of the very few remaining houses still owned and run by the founding family, who remain responsible for the winemaking and selection of the cuvées each year.
Originally founded in Aÿ in 1849 by Pol Roger, the firm then moved to Épernay in 1851. The First World War had a huge impact on the firm, putting any expansion plans to rest, and Prohibition in America made exports much more difficult.
During the Second World War when the Germans occupied France, all production and buying of Champagne was controlled by the Wehrmacht.
However, the War caused Winston Churchill to become a prominent figurehead throughout the world, and his love of Pol Roger was widely known. So much so that the House created their special Cuvée Winston Churchill in 1975.
