Champagne Pol Roger has released the latest vintage of its Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill. The wine is being offered for £1,920 per case (£960 6×75) by the trade.
The 2013 vintage is the 20th release of the house’s prestige cuvée.
The wine was rated 97-points by Antonio Galloni (Vinous). He said it was ‘expressive right out of the gate’ but that it still, ‘really needs time to open a bit’.
The Wine Advocate’s William Kelley, gave it a score of 96-points. He added that it had ‘turned out especially well’ and was a ‘penetrating rendition of Churchill that stands out for its charm and effortlessness’.
Fair Value
The 2013 enters the market at a 9.7% premium on the current Market Price of the 2012 (£1,750 12×75). Both have the same score from the Wine Advocate, suggesting that the 2012 offers better relative value.
However, the 2013 has a stronger score than many back vintages and looks good value in comparison.
