Tasting notes
The 2000 Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill is another vintage that's drinking at peak today, offering up aromas of yellow apples, crisp stone fruit, butter toast, honeycomb and butterscotch, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that's pillowy, open-knit and charming. There's no reason to defer gratification!

Subdued nose, savoury and toasty. Underpowered by comparison with the other vintages (which is so unfair, since this is still a superb wine). Caramelised and complex but there is definitely a relative lightness of touch. (RH)
From Pol Roger UK. Tasted blind. Pale to mid gold and a bit darker than the 2000 in magnum. Toasty and creamy. Lightly honeyed with a touch of cedar. Very tight on the palate and high acid. Still has plenty of fine mousse. Little bit of spice on the palate, only gently toasty. With time this really tightens up on the palate and seems younger, quite powerful and great length. Power and precision. My guess: 2000 in bottle. (JH)
The first thing that is evident about the 2000 Brut Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill is its finesse and total silkiness. The 2000 is a rich, creamy and deeply expressive Winston Churchill. I don't see the 2000 being an especially long-term ager, but it is wonderfully radiant and open today. Hints of pasty, spice, apricots and succulent ripe pears blossom on the expansive, broad-shouldered finish.
