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 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…
The UK supply of Pol Non Vintage has all but dried-up. We have no bottles or half-bottles available until early next year 😢.
But we do still have available (1.5-litre / two-bottle size) magnums of Pol Roger Brut Réserve NV; bottles and magnums of 2013 Pol Roger Vintage, and magnums of 1998 Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill.
With couriers and warehouses already creaking well before the Silly Season (not turning up, not answering the phone, going to the wrong address etc etc), we encourage you to order your Christmas magnums of Pol (and other nice things) in good time.
Don’t say that we didn’t warn you… 🎃
