NV Pommery Brut Royal Champagne, Champagne Pommery, France

The colour is pale yellow with faint green highlights. This is lively, fresh and vivacious, fine, delicate and generous. Citrus fruit and white flower notes combine with small red fruits to offer elegance balanced with great finesse and complex finish. An equal split of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier for a well balanced wine comibining quality fruit flavours, crisp acidity and lovely autolytic notes of brioche with hazelnut.

Pommery & Greno was established in 1836, based in Reims, but it was the highly entrepreneurial Jeanne-Alexandrine Louise Pommery, who in 1858 took over the running of the business after the unexpected death of her husband, that made sure the Pommery name and reputation was internationally recognised. Madame Pommery launched the first commercially successful `Brut` Champagne in history `Pommery Brut Nature 1874’.
