On the palate, it exhibits a full-bodied, vinous, and texturally dense mouthfeel where a concentrated core of stone fruits and crème de cassis is enlivened by a driving spine of crystalline mountain acidity and a plush, pillowy mousse. Having matured on its fine lees for more than a decade in the coldest, deepest subterranean chalk cellars of Épernay, it culminates in a majestic, long, and powerful finish anchored by a distinctively chalky, saline-infused mineral grip and subtle toasty notes. \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/b\u003e Pairs brilliantly with roasted capon stuffed with morels, slow-braised sweetbreads, butter-poached lobster tails, or mature Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese aged for 18 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\" id=\"p-rc_ee9a98f01107ed76-386\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-762 citation-end-762\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-759 citation-end-759\"\u003e97 Points - Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003eFollowing on from the great 2002 vintage of this wine, the 2004 is equally memorable.

Offering up aromas of golden orchard fruit, honeycomb, freshly baked bread, iodine, spices and candied peel, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and charming, with a pillowy mousse, lively acids and a long, saline, delicately caramel-inflected finish. While this vintage has long lived in the shadow of 2002, this is an excellent Churchill in its own right.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\" id=\"p-rc_ee9a98f01107ed76-388\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-760 citation-end-760\"\u003e94 Points - Wine Spectator\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"5\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-760 citation-end-760\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis creamy version has a subtle richness, folded into a fresh, elegant frame.
