Champagne Brut Pommery Brut Apanage 75 cl

Description

History

Champagne Brut AOC Pommery “Brut Apanage” 75 cl bottle is a champagne produced by the Pommery maison, based in Reims. The maison was founded in 1858 by Alexandre Louis Pommery and Narcisse Greno, who mainly dedicated themselves to the production and marketing of wool. After Alexandre’s death, the company will be guided and led to great success by his widow, Louise Pommery, to whom the company will later dedicate one of its most prestigious product lines. She was the first to notice that her tastes were gradually changing: we owe her the creation of one of the first “Brut” champagnes. She was always one of the first to notice that the product had a substantial demand abroad, especially in England and Russia. Today the company is owned and part of the Vranken-Pommery-Monopole group, and is currently the second company in the world by quantity of champagne production.

Production method

Champagne Brut AOC Pommery “Brut Apanage” 75 cl bottle is produced according to the so-called methode champenoise or classic method, a method in which the wine substantially undergoes two different fermentations: the first, the alcoholic one (which unites it with the rest of the wines) takes place in vats for fermentation; the second instead takes place directly in the bottle and ensures that during this second procedure, thanks to particular yeasts, the wine also develops carbon dioxide (which will then give life to the famous bubbles when uncorked). In this cuvée the quantity of vin de reserve used (ie wine kept from previous harvests) is greater than in the Cuvée Royal.

Alcohol content

12.5%

On the nose notes of yellow peach, green apple which immediately give way to more mature notes of fragrant bread crust, melted butter, almond and dry pastries. Soft and enveloping in the mouth, the mature and evolutionary notes are reconfirmed with a rather young and acidic finish and good persistence.
