Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill 2008 Ornellaia plum and blackberry are layered

plum and blackberry are layered seamlessly with sweet spice

Aromatics showing opulence and youthful tension

Displaying an appealing red claret colour with an intense centre and a ruby rim

With a massive yet well-developed style

On the palate then some ripe green peppers

Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill 2008 Ornellaia plum and blackberry are layeredOne of the great Champagnes both for its richness and its longevity, this incarnation is superb. The wine's richness is linked to the ripe fruit and the dominance of Pinot Noir in the blend. It also shines in the perfect balance between the texture, the minerality and the integration of the fruit. It can be enjoyed now, but it will be better from 2020 and then for many years to come.
