The 1996 Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill is an immensely rewarding, complete Champagne that is drinking well today but that also has the potential to continue to improve in bottle. Nothing in particular stands out here, but as is often the case with this cuvee, I am struck by the wine's awesome balance and supreme harmony. Simply put, this is a strikingly beautiful wine from Pol Roger.

Still pale gold. Very deep and sumptuous on the nose. Smells like a cross between red and white Côte de Beaune. Lots of lemon cream sensation and very fine bead. Explosive. Still tight and there’s lots yet to come but certainly capable of giving great pleasure now. You almost feel it needs decanting there is so much there! Not especially long. More Pinot than in the past.

Pol Roger’s 1996 Winston Churchill is fabulous. One of the most expressive, complete 1996s today, the Winston Churchill is in a great spot. Butter, spice, almond and lemon oil notes meld together effortlessly in the glass. In 1996, the Winston Churchill is a clear overachiever. Best of all, it remains reasonably priced vis-à-vis its peers.
This prestigious Champagne label continues to produce quality sparkling wines. Pol Roger began releasing growths in the mid-1900s, including the iconic Cuvee Winston Churchill in 1975 - named after their best customer, Sir Winston Churchill. Since the turn of the century, the firm has developed numerous new cuvees as well as expanding and modernising.
