Full-bodied, layered and vinous, it's deep and multidimensional, with broad shoulders, terrific concentration and a long, resonant finish. In style, this shares all of 2012's breadth and flesh but brings more structure and tension to the equation. Still youthful today, the 2002 will drink well for the next two decades from a cold cellar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral information about the wine: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pb-lg border-borderMain\/50 ring-borderMain\/50 divide-borderMain\/50 dark:divide-borderMainDark\/50  dark:ring-borderMainDark\/50 dark:border-borderMainDark\/50 bg-transparent\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"md:grid grid-cols-12 gap-xl\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-span-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"border-borderMain\/50 ring-borderMain\/50 divide-borderMain\/50 dark:divide-borderMainDark\/50  dark:ring-borderMainDark\/50 dark:border-borderMainDark\/50 bg-transparent\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-md\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative default font-sans text-base text-textMain dark:text-textMainDark selection:bg-super\/50 selection:text-textMain dark:selection:bg-superDuper\/10 dark:selection:text-superDark\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"min-w-0 break-words [word-break:break-word]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose dark:prose-invert inline leading-normal break-words min-w-0 [word-break:break-word]\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill is a prestigious Champagne created in honor of Sir Winston Churchill, reflecting the qualities he admired in Champagne: robustness, full-bodied character, and maturity.
