2000 Pol Roger Cuvee Sir Winston Chruchill Brut Champagne 1.5L [WE96] [WA94] (SOLD OUT)

Producer: Pol Roger  Region: Champagne, France  Blend: Sparkling Wine Blend Year: 2000  Wine Enthusiast, 96 Points  "Dedicated to the memory of the British wartime Prime Minister, who regularly drank Pol Roger, this is always a superlative Champagne. This 2000, at 14 years old, has developed a pale gold color and toastiness. That intensifies the mature flavors and rich texture, while allowing the tight mousse and acidity to keep a sense of structure. It will age much further, although it is perfectly ready to drink now."  Wine Advocate, 94 Points  "The first thing that is evident about the 2000 Brut Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill is its finesse and total silkiness. The 2000 is a rich, creamy and deeply expressive Winston Churchill. I don’t see the 2000 being an especially long-term ager, but it is wonderfully radiant and open today. Hints of pastry, spice, apricots and succulent ripe pears blossom on the expansive, broad-shouldered finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2030."  Alcohol: 12.5
