Vinotheque Limited Release
Disgorged March 2013
Released October 2024

To mark its 175th anniversary, Pol Roger is offering a very limited selection of old vintages of its iconic cuvées. These bottles, disgorged at the original launch date, were then returned to the cellars for extended aging, remaining undisturbed until release. They are also distinguished by manual dressing, inspired by the original labels, and are presented in a wooden case.

This exceptional cuvée, created in 1975 as a tribute to the “old lion,” comes exclusively from Grands Crus already in production during Winston Churchill’s lifetime, spanning the three main Champagne wine regions: the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne, and the Côte des Blancs.

The 1999 harvest took place from September 19 to October 1 under contrasting weather conditions. Despite warm temperatures and slightly higher-than-average rainfall, no major weather events disrupted the harvest, except for a few isolated hailstorms. Heavy rain during the harvest doubled the usual rainfall, but allowed for an exceptional crop characterized by excellent health, large volume, and beautiful ripeness.

98 points James Suckling

A rich and broad-shouldered Sir Winston library release. It’s rich with cooked apple, light apricot and peach character, as well as pie crust. Just a hint of salted butter. A layered and rich center-palate and a flavorful finish with freshness at the end. This needs food. Drinking beautifully now.

96 points Vinous

The 1999 Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill Vinothèque is a powerful, vibrant Champagne that has aged impeccably. Lemon confit, marzipan, dried flowers, mint, spice and chamomile abound. Time in the glass releases gorgeous inner sweetness, while a touch of reduction adds freshness and vibrancy to balance things out. The 1999 has been exceptional in two recent tasting. The style is one more of linear intensity as opposed to the decidedly headier, more exotic 1998.
