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. 
Producer
Pol Roger
One of the rare remaining family-run Grandes Marques Champagne houses, Pol Roger was founded in 1849. Today, while the sizable estate attracts global attention, historically, big names such as Winston Churchill, were among their most loyal collectors. To commemorate his passion for Champagne, about ten years after his passing, Pol Roger even crafted a cuvée in his honor, the impressive prestige Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill Champagne. Renowned for its lacy elegance and complexity, the house produces a non-vintage Brut Réserve that is consistently good. As well as a vintage Brut, and Brut Rosé that are a bit more complex and structured wines. Like all the wines here, delicacy and refined intensity are displayed more than weight, the Blanc de Blancs is a first-class pure Chardonnay.
