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.

An important book
Format: Kindle
A very good treatment of the subject matter, especially valuable as it mines the Japanese sources, which have largely been ignored by the Western historians. The narrative is clear and easy to follow & background detail gives important context into the psychological aspects of the events. Definitely recommended!

Liquid Gold for Old Engines
Style: Full Synthetic High Mileage, Size: 5 qt (Pack of 1), Configuration: 5W-30
Valvoline Full Synthetic High Mileage with MaxLife Technology SAE 5W-30 Motor Oil for my car. Designed specifically for vehicles with over 75,000 miles, this oil provides exceptional performance and protection. Its advanced formula includes conditioners that help rejuvenate seals and reduce oil leaks—something I noticed right away after switching to this product. I’ve noticed less engine noise, even during cold starts, which used to be a problem in the past. The wear protection offered by this motor oil is also impressive. Knowing it fights sludge and deposits gives me peace of mind, especially since I live in an area with fluctuating temperatures. Whether it’s a hot summer day or a cold winter morning, this oil performs consistently well. It’s also rated for excellent viscosity stability, which means it doesn’t thin out or degrade over time like some other oils I’ve tried. Another thing I love about this product is how it helps improve fuel efficiency. Since I started using it, I’ve seen a slight but noticeable improvement in my gas mileage. I’ve also read that Valvoline includes anti-wear additives that extend engine life, and so far, that’s been true in my experience. My car doesn’t burn oil as quickly as it used to, so I’m not having to top it off as often as I did with other brands. The convenience of longer intervals between oil changes is a bonus. Overall, Valvoline Full Synthetic High Mileage with MaxLife Technology SAE 5W-30 Motor Oil is an outstanding product for anyone with a high-mileage vehicle. It’s affordable, easy to use, and does exactly what it promises. Whether you’re trying to extend the life of your aging car or prevent costly repairs, this oil is a solid investment. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking to keep their car running smoothly for years to come.
