Sir Winston Churchill 2008 is Pol Roger’s prestige vintage Champagne. Pinot Noir leads a blend with Chardonnay, though the house does not disclose a precise proportion.
About This Champagne
This cuvée uses fruit from Grand Cru vineyards with a connection to the Churchill era. The 2008 vintage is noted by Pol Roger for fullness balanced by citrus freshness; it is released after the house’s other vintage wines.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: White flowers, brioche, nuts and orange zest.
- Palate: Powerful fruit and pastry cut by grapefruit.
- Finish: Sustained, citrus-led finish.
Serving & Food
Serve in a white-wine glass after modest chilling. Butter-roasted scallops meet the pastry notes without losing the wine’s freshness.

About the Maison
The family-owned Champagne house created Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill as a tribute to a long-standing admirer of its wines. Pinot Noir provides breadth, while Chardonnay contributes lift and detail. Pol Roger chooses Grand Cru vineyards that were already planted in Churchill’s lifetime and traditionally releases the cuvée later than its other vintage Champagnes.
