Champagne

I was very privileged to become an 'old boy' when I spent a week in the summer of 2006 at the Champagne Academy in Reims. It was the perfect opportunity to devote time to broadening my knowledge of Champagne by tasting incredible creations from the 16 'Grandes Marques'. My hopes of celebrating the result of the World Cup Final with more Champagne were unfortunately dashed by my compatriot Zidane, who had other ideas! True Champagne is unique, and is prized the world over. l'Art du Vin has decided to introduce a wide range of wines from this region, from small independent producers offering quality at entry level such as Dangin, to the prestigious Grandes Marques such as Pol Roger, Dom Perignon, Krug and Ruinart. These wines require no introduction.
l'Art du Vin is particularly delighted to present the family-owned and independent Maison Dampierre. Under the control of the Comte, the quality and consistency of the Champagne produced there offers excellent value for money. Santé!

Pol Roger Blanc de Blancs NV
Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill 1998
Champagne

Sir Winston Churchill was Pol Roger's most illustrious devotee and customer. The composition of the blend is a closely guarded family secret but from tasting it is likely that the champagne features about 70-80% Pinot Noir with the remainder made up from Chardonnay. The grapes are all from Grand Cru vineyards which were under vine during Churchill's lifetime and it is only ever made in the very best vintages. It is made in a style which Churchill himself favoured: robust, mature and long-lived.

Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill 1998
Pol Roger Rich NV
Champagne

The nose opens with hints of beeswax and apricot which are repeated on the palate and reinforced with notes of acacia honey. Despite its sweetness it is remarkably refreshing and a sporting acidity leaves the palate cleansed. This would be the perfect toast to serve with wedding cake but equally it complements tarts and crumbles.
