Queen’s top tipple on menu

-

THE Queen has ordered dozens of crates of her favourite champagne – Pol Roger – for Prince Harry’s wedding reception.

She is hosting a wedding breakfast for Harry, his bride Meghan and 600 guests in St George’s Hall at Windsor Castle immediatel­y after the marriage ceremony at St George’s Chapel.

Pol Roger Brut Reserve, which costs around £80 for a magnum, is described as being ‘ dominated by white flowers, green apple, brioche, stone fruits … and a hint of honey’.

It has long been a favourite of the Queen, who, while not a big drinker, does like the odd glass.

Pol Roger was also the champagne of choice of Queen Victoria and Sir Winston Churchill, although he preferred the family-run marque’s finest vintages.
