Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill 2015 (1.5L Magnum)

Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill is Champagne Pol Roger's prestige tête de cuvée, named for the house's most famous devotee, blending grand cru Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from exceptional vintages. This is the 1.5L magnum format, prized for slower, more graceful ageing.

Deep gold, it's richly complex with brioche, honeyed citrus and toasted almond, carried by a fine, persistent mousse to a long, powerful finish.

Tasting notes: Grand cru Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, prestige cuvée, 1.5L magnum. Deep gold; brioche and toasted almond; powerful, long finish.

Food pairing: A landmark celebration, lobster, or simply on its own.
