Pol Roger Winston Churchill 2006

Vineyard and varietals

Pol Roger own over 85 hectares of vineyards, mostly located close to their seat in Epernay on the Cote de Blancs: Mardeuil, Chouilly, Pierry, Moussy, Chavot, Cuis, Cramant, and Grauves. For Winston Churchill chardonnay grand cru grapes from Cramant und Chouilly make up 25 percent of the blend. The remaining 75 percent are pinot noir from Ay, Bouzy and Ambonnay, the best pinot noir grand cru with steep southern slopes that give ripe, powerful pinot noir base wines providing Winston Churchill with concentration, body and structure. The chardonnay provides freshness, acidity and aromatic complexity and a certain energy and sparkle. Only old vines are used for Winston Churchill, with the youngest being planted before the death of Winston Churchill in 1965. To commemorate this idiosyncratic forceful prime minister,  in 1984 Pol Roger released the Cuvee Winston Churchill 1975 that was available only in Magnums.

Vinification, elevage and bottling

After the first gentle pressing, of course only the first pressing is used, the must settles and clears for a first tie to be chilled down to 6 centigrade and settles for another 24 hours. The individual components, both varietals and vineyards, are then transferred to stainless steel and ferment at low temperatures not exceeding 18 centigrade and after alcoholic fermentation they undergo malolactic fermentation. After that the components are blended in a proportion respecting the style of Winston Churchill but also reflecting the character of each vintage. While the proportion of pinot noir and chardonnay remains stable at three to one, the choice of vineyards and their proportion varies.  After assemblage Winston Churchill is bottle fermented for a good eight years. The 2006 was disgorged in January 2017 with a dosage of 8 g/l. The vinification is main stream in practice and the secret of the exceptional quality of this icon is the quality of grapes and masterful blending by cellarmaster Dominique Petit who has just retired.

The vintage

2006 is a classic year with powerful, intense, ripe wines and good acidity. Many 2006s are beginning to open up but the best need more time.

Tasting

The Winston Churchill 2006 has a fine, creamy mousse, which is also due to the below average temperature of the Pol Roger cellars. The bouquet smells of ripe, yellow apple and peach but also pinot noir typical raspberries and cherry and a touch of lime and tangerine. Ther also is a spicy scent of hazlenut, almond and pistachio with slighly yeasty, vanilla scents of freshly baked brioche. On the palate the acidity is so well integrated with the fruit, that it subtly focusses and prolongs the palate that is dominated by aromas of apple, quince, dried apricot, lime, almond and hazlenut. As temperature mounts in the glass it gets fuller and rounder. You sense great concentration, intensity and length, that are integrated by the perfect acidity and minerality into the general picture of freshness and elegance.

Development potential

The Winston Churchill 2006 is aromatically little developed but impresses with its harmony and intensity. It should be cellared for a minimum of five years before it will display its full firework of aromas and harmonies.

Soft and fluffy after a wash & dry
Color: 02 Ashley Blue, Size: Throw XL (50" X 70"), Color: 02 Ashley Blue, Size: Throw XL (50" X 70")
Perfect, lightweight and warm. I got this for a chaise that I use. It’s not thick, but enough to keep you warm and cozy if you’re just reading and relaxing. I washed it and dried it as soon as I took it out of the box. It fluffed out perfectly, so don’t be fooled by the flattened squishy blanket that arrives. It doesn’t shed, which is a bonus.

High Quality Comfort!
Color: 01 Sage Green, Size: Queen (90" X 90")
This is definitely one of the most comfortable blankets I have ever owned. The material is thick, soft, warm, durable, and resistant to shedding & fibers breaking off. All of these favorable qualities work together to create optimal sleep conditions, and I would say it protects against cold temperatures in the environment (natural air & A/C, for example) very well. It is SO extremely cozy!!! It has become a comfort item of sorts, as well. It fits my Queen-sized bed absolutely perfectly. I've been searching for a blanket to fit my entire bed, and this blanket most definitely is the one. When this blanket is nearby, it's nap time! I love the the slightly raised texture of this blanket's material, and the checkered pattern adds a subtle, yet stylish touch to its overall appearance.

Loving my Bedsure Blanket
Color: Cream, Size: King (108" X 90")
I love this blanket. It’s for summer use & is the perfect weight. I feel both cozy and cool! Plus color & size are as shown. I washed it immediately and it was easy & came out soft; no shrinkage or shedding in the dryer.

Very soft. Light Blue is more of a sky blue
Color: Light Blue, Size: Throw XL (50" X 70")
Very soft, pretty thin, and a little stretchy. Overall, it looks nice. I would say it's a little thin for the colder weather, but great for the warmer months. I got the light blue, and it is a little more sky blue than true baby blue. I wish it were a true blue, but it's close enough that I'll keep it rather than go through the return process. I washed it, and little fuzzies came free, but nothing too alarming for a first wash. Hopefully, it doesn't do that every time. With how thin it is, there'll be nothing left eventually.
