Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill 2012 is a brut white blend Champagne assembled entirely from Grand Cru pinot noir and chardonnay vineyards. The exact blend is a closely guarded family secret.
Nose: The first nose exudes generous aromas of pastry with hints of vanilla and brioche, followed by subtle fragrances of sweet spice as it opens up. The bouquet then develops to reveal an array of dried fruit and candied exotic fruit mixed with notes of banana and papaya. Well-structured with a superb aromatic persistence, this vintage 2012 is remarkable for its complexity and power.
Palate: The wine is honest and lively on entry, giving way to an attractive and opulent texture with a lovely balance. We are then treated to an extraordinary explosion of flavors, elegantly blending roasted almonds, acacia honey, hazelnut liqueur and gingerbread. This wonderful harmony is underpinned by a structure that shows a smooth, creamy and round character.
