Merchant's description

Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill 1996 showcases a blend that reflects its historical lineage, crafted to honour Winston Churchill’s legacy. Disgorged in 2007, this iteration presents a deep golden hue. Aromas of citrus zest and brioche mingle with subtle notes of ripe orchard fruits, offering complexity. The palate reveals fine bubbles and a notable minerality, indicative of its high-quality terroir. While the wine exhibits tight structure now, its balanced acidity and intricate layers suggest excellent ageing potential.
