Champagne Tasting Six Vintages of Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill – Wednesday 29th June 2016

On the 29th June 2016 The Finest Bubble will be hosting an exclusive tasting of Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill from Pol Roger. The Champagne that legend has it was created for the late great Sir Winston Churchill himself. In the illustrious line up there will be the following amazing six vintages, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2004, most from bottle yet for one vintage we will sneak in a Magnum which should add a little something extra to the lineup. Pol Roger tell us they haven’t been involved with a tasting of so many Churchill vintages in one tasting!

Sir Winston Churchill Prestige Cuvée was created in tribute to Pol Roger's most illustrious devotee, Sir Winston Churchill himself. The Cuvee is appropriately composed of only the best grapes, from only the best vineyard sites to which Pol Roger have access and from only the finest vintage years declared by the House. As Sir Winston himself once declared: 'My tastes are simple. I am easily satisfied with the best!' The precise formula is a family secret, but invariably true to the style that Sir Winston himself preferred: robust, full-flavoured and mature; we suspect Pinor Noir is dominant in most releases with 30-40 per cent Chardonnay.

Our host for the evening is James Simpson MW – James took over as Managing Director of Pol Roger Ltd at the beginning of 2015 having previously been the Sales and Marketing Director. He has worked with Pol Roger Ltd since 1993 and holds the much coverted Master of Wine which he gained in 1992 at the age of 27, making him the 3rd youngest person to gain the title. James knows everything you need to know about Champagne Pol Roger and is the ideal person to take us through the amazing line up of their top Cuvee, Sir Winston Churchill.

The venue will be at 67 Pall Mall – Founded by wine lovers, for wine lovers, 67 Pall Mall is a unique private members' club.
