Looking to celebrate a special occasion, wet the baby's head or simply just because....we have the perfect gift for you. Featuring - Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill Champagne 2015 and Romeo & Julieta Wide Churchill cigar.

Sir Winston Churchill's relationship with Pol Roger dates back to 1945 when, during a luncheon given by the British ambassador to France after the liberation of Paris, Churchill met the charming and captivating Odette Pol-Roger. A friendship began which, indulged by his wife Clementine, lasted until his death in 1965. Each year on his birthday, Odette would send Churchill a case of vintage champagne. So close was his relationship with the family that upon his death, Pol Roger put black-bordered labels on all of their bottles destined for the UK. In 1975, Pol Roger went one step further and named their prestige cuvée after him, producing it in the robust and mature style that he liked so much.

The Romeo y Julieta range comprises a variety of shapes and sizes, each delivering a consistent, high-quality smoking experience. The brand's association with Sir Winston Churchill, a famous aficionado, led to the creation of the Churchill cigar, a modern shape that has become a staple in the world of fine cigars.

Tasting Note: Intitally notes of spices and pepper. A good intensity of black fruit follows, showing the fine concentration and density of the wine. The complexity is obvious: a bouquet of dried fruit and hazelnut overlayed with notes of exotic fruits. On the palate, candied fruit notes accompany hints of pastries, brioche and cocoa, broad and mouth-filling. Full bodied and generous, the wine culminates with terrific length.
