Reviews & Scores
Medium straw, with a powerful mousse. Dense and earthy on the nose, with strong toasty and buttery tones layered on ripe apple and pear fruit. This is both very '95 in a positive sense and very Pol Roger. Fat and round in the mouth, with extravagant flavors of buttered toast, ripe orange and poached pear, complemented by subtle notes of cinnamon and mace. A lush, velvety Champagne that completely fills the mouth with flavor and creamy texture. This would go wonderfully with absolutely anything-or on its own.

The great British statesman's favorite Champagne (which he drank daily, this is one of the great Champagnes. It is a ripe, full-bodied style, packed with power but remaining sophisticated and never overwhelming. There is a hint of toastiness from increasing maturity, but it is still lively, ripe and intense.

Very tightly wound and racy, this packs citrus, hazelnut and vanilla pastry flavors into its medium-bodied frame. Well-integrated and dense, this has a long life ahead. Excellent lingering finish.
