About this Item

2004 Vintage
2 (1 x 2) 1500ml

In its 160 years of history, Pol Roger has carved out one of the strongest reputations in the select circle of the leading Champagne brands. Pol Roger was born on December 24, 1831, the son of a lawyer, he started his own champagne house in 1849, with the first growths released in 1853. Based around the town of Epernay, the house releases non-vintage cuvées every year, as well as three vintage wines, and the house’s prestige label – the Vintage Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill (as Churchill had a legendary thirst for Champagne, especially Pol Roger). For five generations, the descendants have been equally demanding, remaining loyal to the strategy initiated from the very beginning by the firm's founder. Today, the house is still owned and run by the family.

Critics Ratings

'Floral nose, tight knit bead. Quite like the 2006. Fresh and tight and quite rich. Good bite.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Aug 2017)

'Just approaching maturity, this rich wine is sumptuous and complex. It has intense fruitiness, with apple and grapefruit flavors that are followed by a tight texture as well as the first signs of toastiness. It has plenty of life yet. Drink now–2024.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 95/100 (Dec 2014)
