Box E: What if Gigi gets all hyped up?
There are those who are content with a good bottle and those who, when they get excited, pull out the big guns. This box is dedicated to the latter category.
Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill, Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque and Louis Roederer Cristal 2015: three names that need no introduction, three great interpretations of Champagne, and a single goal: to turn a nice occasion into something memorable.
We don't toast here just for the sake of toasting. We uncork here to celebrate, to amaze, and to indulge in something truly special.

Dedicated to Winston Churchill, this cuvée was created to represent a structured, profound Champagne capable of evolving magnificently over time. Produced only in great vintage years, it combines the strength of Pinot Noir with the finesse of Chardonnay.
The nose reveals ripe fruit, spices, dried fruit, and pastry notes. On the palate, it is broad, enveloping, and assertive, with an important structure, well-integrated freshness, and a very long finish.

Beauty, when it ends up in the glass.

Grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier
Production area: Champagne, France
Style: Prestigious vintage Champagne

Elegant even before being poured, Belle Époque is a Champagne that makes harmony its distinctive trait. Its refined style enhances, above all, the floral component of the Chardonnay, accompanied by the structure of the Pinot Noir and the roundness of the blend.
The bouquet evokes white flowers, citrus, pear, and peach, with delicate nuances of almond and pastry. The sip is silky, fresh, and precise, with a balance that accompanies the palate without weighing it down.
3. Louis Roederer Cristal 2015
When Gigi decides that the best is not enough.

Grape varieties: 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay

Alcohol content: approx. 12% vol.
Serving temperature: 10–12 °C
Cristal is one of the most emblematic cuvées of Champagne, and the 2015 vintage expresses an extraordinary combination of concentration, precision, and freshness. The bouquet opens with white peach, yellow fruit, and mirabelle, with hints of toasted almond and notes of pastry.
On the palate, it is intense and enveloping, but supported by an incisive mineral freshness. The texture is silky, the effervescence extremely fine, and the finish savory and persistent. A great Champagne with a defined personality and significant aging potential.
Three great Maisons, three extraordinary bottles, and no desire to do things by halves. The structure of Pol Roger, the floral elegance of Belle Époque, and the precision of Cristal 2015 meet in a selection designed for those who love uncompromising luxury.
For an important anniversary, an exceptional gift, or that dinner where you want to make an impression.
Our advice? Don't wait for something special to happen. Sometimes, the best excuse is simply having these bottles in the cellar.
