Champagne Pol Roger created their Prestige Cuvee in homage to Sir Winston Churchill, mindful of the qualities that he sought in his champagne : robustness, a full-bodied character and relative maturity. The exact blend is a closely guarded family secret but it is undeniable that the composition would meet with the approval of the man to whom it is dedicated.

Pinot Noir predominates, providing structure, breadth and robustness whilst Chardonnay contributes elegance, finesse and subtlety. Composed exclusively of grapes sourced from Grands Cru Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards, which were already under vine during Churchill's lifetime, Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill is only made in the very best vintages and is always released later than the other vintage-dated Champagnes from Pol Roger, marking Churchill's appreciation for older wines.

The 2006 Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill is a distinguished Champagne blend from France's renowned Champagne region. This vintage is noted for its finesse and complexity, capturing the essence of the year with its broader, lower-acidity profile. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate describes it as "a broader, lower-acidity vintage" with aromas of "confit citrus, peach, buttered toast, smoke, and coffee." This full-bodied Champagne is praised for its rich mid-palate and sapid finish.

Wine Spectator awarded it a score of 95, highlighting its "rich and expressive flavors of peach tart, raspberry sorbet, candied ginger, and orange peel." The wine, which is recommended to be consumed now through 2031, leaves a "mouthwatering impression on the satiny finish."
