Wine Spectator: 95 Points
A tightly meshed Champagne with an up-front broad feel that's quickly reined in and well-defined by racy acidity. Creamy on the palate with the fine mousse carrying flavors of crème de cassis lemon-infused pastry cream smoked almond and oyster shell. Long harmonious finish. Drink now through 2038. 500 cases imported.
Vinous: 95 Points
The 2015 Brut Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill shows off the savory side of the vintage to great effect. Hints of dried pear sage mint dried flowers lemon oil and chamomile open gradually in this mid-weight lithe edition of Pol Roger's tête de cuvée. The 2015 unfolds nicely with time in the glass but I wouldn't think of opening a bottle anytime soon. Readers will find a nervy Winston Churchill marked by notable freshness and vigor more than size. This is a fine effort in a vintage that has proven to be far trickier than most observers originally envisioned. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. Disgorged September 2022. (Drink between 2027-2045)
vWine Advocate: 94+ Points
A strong effort in a less-acclaimed vintage Pol Roger's newly released 2015 Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill opens in the glass with aromas of confit citrus ripe orchard fruits and dried white flowers mingled with hints of honeycomb freshly baked bread and anise. Medium to full-bodied vinous and concentrated with bright acids chalky structuring extract and a pinpoint mousse this inherently rather rich gastronomic Champagne is quite tightly wound out of the gates and will reward a bit of bottle age. Stylistically it is somewhat reminiscent of a modern-day version of the 1985.
