Pol Roger Winston Churchill 2006

Vineyard and varietals

Pol Roger own over 85 hectares of vineyards, mostly located close to their seat in Epernay on the Cote de Blancs: Mardeuil, Chouilly, Pierry, Moussy, Chavot, Cuis, Cramant, and Grauves. For Winston Churchill chardonnay grand cru grapes from Cramant und Chouilly make up 25 percent of the blend. The remaining 75 percent are pinot noir from Ay, Bouzy and Ambonnay, the best pinot noir grand cru with steep southern slopes that give ripe, powerful pinot noir base wines providing Winston Churchill with concentration, body and structure. The chardonnay provides freshness, acidity and aromatic complexity and a certain energy and sparkle. Only old vines are used for Winston Churchill, with the youngest being planted before the death of Winston Churchill in 1965. To commemorate this idiosyncratic forceful prime minister,  in 1984 Pol Roger released the Cuvee Winston Churchill 1975 that was available only in Magnums.

Vinification, elevage and bottling

After the first gentle pressing, of course only the first pressing is used, the must settles and clears for a first tie to be chilled down to 6 centigrade and settles for another 24 hours. The individual components, both varietals and vineyards, are then transferred to stainless steel and ferment at low temperatures not exceeding 18 centigrade and after alcoholic fermentation they undergo malolactic fermentation. After that the components are blended in a proportion respecting the style of Winston Churchill but also reflecting the character of each vintage. While the proportion of pinot noir and chardonnay remains stable at three to one, the choice of vineyards and their proportion varies.  After assemblage Winston Churchill is bottle fermented for a good eight years. The 2006 was disgorged in January 2017 with a dosage of 8 g/l. The vinification is main stream in practice and the secret of the exceptional quality of this icon is the quality of grapes and masterful blending by cellarmaster Dominique Petit who has just retired.

The vintage

2006 is a classic year with powerful, intense, ripe wines and good acidity. Many 2006s are beginning to open up but the best need more time.

Tasting

The Winston Churchill 2006 has a fine, creamy mousse, which is also due to the below average temperature of the Pol Roger cellars. The bouquet smells of ripe, yellow apple and peach but also pinot noir typical raspberries and cherry and a touch of lime and tangerine. Ther also is a spicy scent of hazlenut, almond and pistachio with slighly yeasty, vanilla scents of freshly baked brioche. On the palate the acidity is so well integrated with the fruit, that it subtly focusses and prolongs the palate that is dominated by aromas of apple, quince, dried apricot, lime, almond and hazlenut. As temperature mounts in the glass it gets fuller and rounder. You sense great concentration, intensity and length, that are integrated by the perfect acidity and minerality into the general picture of freshness and elegance.

Development potential

The Winston Churchill 2006 is aromatically little developed but impresses with its harmony and intensity. It should be cellared for a minimum of five years before it will display its full firework of aromas and harmonies.

helped treat my sore neck
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Camping Pillow(Pack of 1)
This pillow — after dialing in the right amount of shredded foam — has greatly helped my sore neck. Initially, I had to remove some foam. Then I gradually added foam until it reached optimum comfort and support. It is also CPAP-friendly — especially when I position my head near the pillow's edge. (I am a left-side sleeper.) I like the travel size because I use a bulky hugging pillow to ease stress on my shoulder and elbow. That makes my side of the bed feel cramped if using a larger head pillow. A smaller pillow is easy to flip end-to-end in the middle of the night. I have spent lots of money on pillows over the years, but this is the best I've ever had for relieving [1] neck pain and [2] CPAP mask seal problems. Very comfortable, supportive, and affordable. I did not notice any unpleasant smell — and I am usually sensitive to that kind of thing. Would highly recommend.

Love them!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Love them! After 10 years with our MyPillows, they finally lost their fluff. The reviews I read of the MyPillows of today were not good; they didn’t have as much filling as they used to. These pillows remind me of how fluffy our new MyPillows were 10 years ago!! You sink right into them and can mush them however and they stay. These are way cheaper than the Coop and it’s the same concept; add or remove the filling as needed. The cooling side is a huge plus too! You won’t be disappointed with these pillows!

Ok I normally don't leave reviews but I had to on this pillow. I was looking forever for a pillow and was nervous about buying one because you know how that usually goes when it comes to buying pillows. They arrived compressed but when you unwrap them they blow up to be a heavy duty pillow. Firm but not too firm. I don't like super soft pillows that you can roll up in a ball with one hand, I like a pillow that gives support and these do just that. They are cooling as well they are pretty for a pillow with the unique design. If you are in the market for a pillow and reading this THEN BUY THIS PILLOW & come back to tell me thank you. I promise you will NOT be disappointed. No I didn't get paid to say any of this. I wanted to give a honest review where it deserves one! You will not be disappointed! Thanks for the fast over night shipping as well. Not to mention the pricing is on point. I can say right now you will not find 2 pillows of this quality & price.
