James Suckling, one of the world’s most influential wine critics, has once again recognized Champagne Pol Roger as a benchmark of excellence. In his August 2025 Champagne Report, Pol Roger’s cuvées received exceptional scores across the board, ranging from 92 to an outstanding 99 points. Among the highlights, the Sir Winston Churchill 2018 impressed with elegance and depth (96 pts), while the Blanc de Blancs 2016 and Brut Vintage 2018 showed the house’s signature precision and freshness (95 pts each). Rare treasures from the Vinothèque series, including the Sir Winston Churchill 2002, achieved near-perfect acclaim at 99 points. These results reaffirm Pol Roger’s reputation as one of Champagne’s most consistent and refined houses. At Schmidt & Co., we are proud to offer our clients access to these celebrated wines — from vibrant young vintages to rare, cellar-aged releases.
