Champagne Sir Winston Churchill Brut 2015

Description

Brut Champagne made using the classic method, produced by Pol Roger, a historic name in Champagne. 2015 vintage, 0.75L bottle. A tribute to Sir Winston Churchill, a wine that embodies elegance and complexity. The nose is dominated by notes of dried fruit, toasted almonds, and honey, a bouquet that evolves over time. Vinification involves two decantings of the must and cold fermentation. Secondary fermentation in the bottle at 9°C in Pol Roger's cellars. Fine and persistent perlage. The color is golden yellow. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, yet balanced with a fresh citrus acidity. It is very long, with creamy notes of butter, plum, and ripe pear. Ideal for celebrating special occasions, it pairs perfectly with oysters, fish, and creamy dishes.

Distinction and elegance. Pol Roger is the "gentlemen's" champagne, as Jean paul Kauffman wrote in "Voyage en Champagne". It is no surprise therefore, that it became a favourite of Winston Chrchill and even the British Royal Family over the years. This refinement reflects a whole lifestyle.

It is also a source of infinite pleasure. Pol roger Champagne has a soul, created by the union of a family's spirit and the character of a vineyard. The winery and the cellars are located on the celebrated and noble avenue de Champane in Espernay, the very place where the heart of champagne beats. The purity and the nobility of the Pol roger Champagne is also the fruit of the know-how, passed down from generation to generation.

From the harvest in the region's best vineyards, to the painstaking work in the cellar, each gesture has its own importance. Read more

A slow cold fermentation follows this in stainless steel at a constant temperature below 18°C. Vinification takes place separately by grape variety. The wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation and is then blended. Pressing takes place in the bottle at 9°C in Pol Roger's underground cellars at 33 metres below street level, where the wine is kept until it undergoes riddling by hand, a rarity in Champagne production nowadays.
