Description
This fine champagne is a blend of 40 carefully selected crus from the Champagne region. It is made up of three grape varieties: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and about one-third Chardonnay. This subtle blend is then aged in the Pommery cellars for about three years in order to develop its full aroma. Fresh and vivacious, with a supple, fruity finish. A composition that is light yet well-structured and full of charm.
Pommery Brut Royal is the essence of the Pommery style: liveliness, fresh, finesse. From 40 selected villages in the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims and other areas in the Champagne region where the liveliness and delicacy of the chardonnay grape is enhanced by the climate.
Tasting notes
A fresh and exciting example with crisp aromas of citrus, fresh flowers and marzipan. Lively texture and moderate concentration on the palate, plus good length.
Estate
Pommery is a historic Champagne house located in Reims. They are the inventor of the Brut style of Champagne which is so popular today. The house was founded in 1858, primarily as a wool trading concern. On the death of her husband in 1860, Louise Pommery began to dedicate the company to Champagne production and it soon became one of the region's largest brands. She purchased 120 Roman-era limestone and chalk caves which formed 12 miles of cellars under the city of Reims which allowed storage of more than 20 million bottles. The brand is known for its freshness and finesse, epitomized by the range-topping Cuvée Louis.
