2000 Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill (Case - 6/75cl)

With demand for Champagne and particularly these Prestige Cuvees on the rise, we are pleased to have held on to our allocation, unfortunately it is tiny, so we apologies in advance if we run out before you have a chance to order. The relationship between Champagne Pol Roger and Sir Winston Churchill dates back to a providential meeting at a luncheon given by the British Ambassador to France some months afer the liberation of Paris at which was served the sumptuous 1928 vintage of Pol Roger. Attending the lunch was the beautiful Odette Pol-Roger as well as the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, with whom she struck up an instant rapport. A friendship was born which continued until Churchill’s death, creating links between the Pol-Roger and Churchill families which are still as strong to this day. Champagne Pol Roger created their Prestige Cuvée in homage to Sir Winston Churchill mindful of the qualities that he sought in his champagne: robustness, a full-bodied character and relative maturity. "Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill" is only made in the very best vintages and is produced in very small quantities. The latest vintage, 2000, is the thirteenth and is released only afer 11 years cellaring.
