Winston Churchill was not mistaken in making Pol Roger his favourite champagne. The entire range of this family run house is exemplary. Brut Réserve, ripe and elegant, the ideal champagne for all occasions. The 2004 vintage is long and charming, while the Winston Churchill Cuvée, made with the House's finest pinot noirs, is unusually vinous and powerful, "a monster of harmonies" for the Revue du Vin de France.

A precise and meticulous worker (each of his bottles mentions the date of disgorging and the duration of aging on lees), Francis Égly is in the firmament of Champagne. With its vineyard magnificently located in the grand cru (Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay, pinot noir and chardonnay) and first cru (Vrigny, pinot meunier), it produces prodigious wines of vinosity, intensity and nobility of character, always on the cutting edge between the great maturity of the grapes and a fine chalky minerality. All its vintages are vinified in wood and without malolactic fermentation, and the critics are ecstatic.

Whatever the costs and fashions, Bollinger has been perpetuating the tradition of great vinous champagnes since 1829: 1/3 chardonnay, 2/3 pinot noir, fermentation in oak barrels, prolonged ageing of the wines in the cellar (minimum 8 years for the R.D. cuvée). Complex, concentrated, almost tannic wines, perfect for a meal.
