Pol Roger's Magnum of Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill 1999 Champagne was made in his honour.
Sir Winston Churchill was Pol Roger's most illustrious devotee and customer.
The blend is a closely guarded family secret but from tasting it is likely that the champagne features about 70-80% Pinot Noir with the remainder made up from Chardonnay.
The grapes are all from Grand Cru vineyards which were under vine during Churchill's lifetime and it is only ever made in the very best vintages.
It is made in a style which Churchill himself favoured: robust, mature and long-lived.
