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.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
