An ideal Champagne to mark the transition from aperitif to the first dish of a meal. A wine held together by explosive creaminess. Hazelnuts, dried apricot and vanilla notes are dominated by light tobacco and shortbread.
Out of the 40 crus comprising Pommery Brut Royal, only 20 of the finest are selected for Pommery Brut Apanage. The Chardonnay grape has an assertive presence. Brut Apanage is left to mature in chalk cellars on the Pommery Estate for a further six months (4 years in total) to allow the subtlety and finesse of Pommery wines to slowly emerge. True to the tradition of Pommery Nature 1874, the dosage reflects the wine’s blend. It has a slightly lower dosage than Pommery Brut Royal.
Lovely ready now dry red. What You expect from down that way with no rough edges and just enough tannin to give it some grunt. Very good value at this price.
Have been buying this wine for years (and years). Consistently delivers a beautiful, savoury rhone wine experience. Definitely punches above its weight. Deep garnet, full bodied, leathery with light spice notes.
Dark, medium to full bodied, with mature flavours starting to evolve. Excellent value, typical Bordeaux wine. Could easily become our house favourite! Delivers very good value for the price.
