What to Expect

Champagne is specifically a sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France; every other sparkling is simply that, sparkling wine. Made to be aged for a few to many years, in many languages "Champagne" is synonymous with "party". When young, Champagne exhibits the fresh fruit tones of its "cepage", or blend. Usually based on a blend the features either Chardonnay or Pinot Noir as its main ingredient, Champagne's fruit can range from citrusy to orchard fruits and even red berries. The wine gains distinct yeasty notes from its secondary fermentation, the one that adds the fizz, which is typically described as recalling brioche or bread. As it ages Champagne tends to lose its obvious fruit, which is replaced by subtle nutty tones and subdued elements of dried fruits.

Winemakers Notes

The Pommery house was controlled for many years by Madame Pommery, second only in fame to Madame Clicquot. She took a fledgling Champagne house and poured her efforts into renovating the grounds and cellars, and moving the house towards the exclusive production of sparkling wine rather than still. The style at Pommery is light and delicate. The non-vintage Pommery Brut Royale is 35% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 30% Pinot Meunier. The nose is characterized by green herbs, and the style on the palate is full, with cream and foam and a honeyed edge.

Silvery straw, many tiny beads. Aromas of fresh cut flowers and very juicy with a lot of lemony fruit, with rich texture. Slightly spicy, yeasty finish.
