Arden Fine Wines is based in Brook Street, opposite Claridge’s, which was a favourite bolthole of Sir Winston Churchill.
Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill was created by Champagne Pol Roger in homage to its greatest fan.
By comparison with most other deluxe champagnes, the volume is tiny – 25,000-50,000 bottles typically.
We’ve drunk tasted three vintages of Sir Winston this year, most recently the 1986…
This was the fifth vintage of Cuvée Sir Winston to be brought to life and is a very good effort for a rather mixed year in Champagne.
We have three bottles left – if they’re not opened for inspection by the (self-appointed ????) Friends of Arden Champagne Tasting Panel in the meantime…
