It has been announced that Pol Roger is the official Champagne of the Royal Wedding! It will be served before the sit-down meal prepared by Anton Mosimann and hosted by Prince Charles. It seems the Brits favor Pol Roger, since it was Winston Churchill's favorite. And the Champagne house even has a special cuvee named after him (Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill).
If you care to celebrate the Royal Wedding in the same style, pop open a bottle of the Pol Roger Brut Reserve NV, it typically sells for between $35 and $43 a bottle. "A beautifully gold straw yellow hue, fine bubbles, a bouquet of floral and fruity aromas, ripe and thirst-quenching on the palate, with a superb taste of brioche."
New York's Sherry-Lehmann in midtown Manhattan has it for $39.95.
It is interesting to note that traditionally, Pol Roger has not been served at royal weddings. Queen Victoria issued a royal warrant to Bollinger in 1884, and Prince Charles chose it both for his stag party and for his marriage to Lady Diana Spencer in 1981.
