2013 Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill Brut Pol Roger, Champagne (3l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2013 Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill Brut, Pol Roger

The 2013 Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill continues to show beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, mandarin oil, freshly baked bread and pastry cream. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and precise, it's deep and vinous, with a racy spine of an acidity and a tensile but relatively charming profile that means it's already approachable. In style, the 2013 is in contrast with the broader, fleshier 2012, but the two vintages are very close in ultimate quality. - William Kelley, März 2023
