Occasional wine note

Wow! Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill offering is a top 2 favorite Champagne so we decided to try this one. It does not disappoint. Some floral notes give way to pastry and nuts on the nose. The palate is bright and crisp with stone fruits, apple, and honey. This one should sit in your cellar for a few years and opened for a special occasion.

What experts say about this wine

Jeb Dunnuck

The 2015 Champagne Brut Vintage is 60% Pinot Noir, with the rest Chardonnay, and takes on the more noble feel of the house style. The nose is fragrant and delicate with flint and wet stone, red plum, orange blossom, and spice. The palate has structure and feels the strength of the Pinot Noir and the warmth of 2015, although it has the underlying structure to last. Dry, balanced, and salty, it will need some time before opening. Allow 1-2 years and drink over the following two decades.

Wine Enthusiast

Still young, this is a fine Champagne. Its crisp texture and fresh citrus and white fruits are still full of vivacity. The wine is textured, hinting at minerality and should be aged further. Drink from 2024.
