According to decanter dot com, the official Champagne of the royal
wedding will be NV Pol Roger.
(Good choice if you can’t acquire a
sufficient stock of the 1998, 1996 or 1995, say I. Prince Charles and the
late Princess Diana chose Bollinger; so, perhaps that marque would have been
regarded as bad luck.)
As Champagne
fans know, Pol Roger had many twentieth century associations with the British
government, although generally with commoners rather than royalty, particularly
Sir Winston Churchill after whom their prestige cuvee is named. One of my
favorite stories is about Lord Soames, giving a press conference during
Rhodesian peace talks way back when, predicting that the talks would be
concluded within less than 30 days. Asked how he could be so confident of
an early conclusion, he revealed that his remaining stock was only
twenty-something bottles of Pol Roger.
