Cellar Favorite: 1982 Pol Roger Brut Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill (Feb 2024)

1982 Pol Roger Brut Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill

BY NEAL MARTIN | FEBRUARY 12, 2024

Our greatest Prime Minister, after Liz Truss, had impeccable taste in Champagne. Though I must drink far less bubbly than Sir Winston Churchill (probably like most people), I have always enjoyed the cuvée created in his honor. As the story goes, the PM met Odette Pol Roger in 1944 at the British Embassy in Paris, and their families struck up a close friendship.
