    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    The product of a warm and generous growing season, this is initially coiled then broadens with bruised apple, peach skin, lemon peel and conference pear, followed by almond, wild strawberry, cherry pit and a fine lemon thyme herbal note. The characteristic Pol bakery-scented flavours emerge latterly, with a dash of vanilla, cream and crisp buttery croissant; such notes will no doubt develop with more time in bottle. Generous, concentrated and clearly in its infancy, the flavours really build with time and linger long on the palate, with touches of noble bitter cherry, citrus pith and tiny red berries. It is deep and concentrated while being fine boned and incredibly layered and detailed, suggesting much more to come from this luminous charmer.

    Critic Reviews

    96/100
    Antonio Galloni,
    Vinous
    The 2018 Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill is an elegant, polished wine very much in the gracious, lighter style of the year. Subtle citrus inflections, white peach, flowers, mint and white pepper are all beautifully delineated in the glass. Clean mineral notes infuse the vibrant finish. This is an especially airy Churchill, a Champagne built more on finesse and persistence than size.
