Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Pommery Cuvee Louise Brut Nature shows yellow shades and slightly green reflections. Its nose becomes immediately tenser; it is focused more on notes of slightly dried lemon, white flowers, all with a very nice minerality and good freshness. On the palate it is straight as an "I" and remains very tense, leaving the impression of surfing on a razor blade given its great fineness. Its final is very direct and the finish in the mouth leaves a memory of a very subtle wine.

Blend: 65% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir

    This has a gorgeous nose of pie crust, biscuit, dried apple, hazelnut and citrus rind. Very fine and creamy with sharp acidity. I like the biscuity character. Persistent. Wonderful complexity, elegance and finesse. 65% chardonnay from Avize and Cramant, plus 35% pinot noir from Ay.

    Bold and ripe, this wine takes the softness of the vintage toward a caramel-in-heaven character. The fruit carries a citrus message; its oxidative richness and volume brought to mind an elder aristocrat with heavy bangles on her wrists. The flavors last in layers of hazelnut and lees, and the caressing pallor of limestone.

Champagne Pommery Champagne Pommery Winery Video
Pommery is an historic champagne house founded in 1836 by Alexandre-Louis Pommery. Madame Louise Pommery took over Champagne Pommery in 1858 and created over 11 miles of cellars. She also created the first “Brut” style champagne in 1874 – revolutionizing the style of champagne worldwide. Pommery became an Unesco world heritage site in 2015 – Pommery receives over 180,000 visitors to the cellars per year. Clement Pierlot is only the 10th Chef des Caves since 1836 ensuring consistency of the house style. As an enologist and engineer in agriculture, Clement is devoted to organic viticulture and is leading the conversion of all Pommery owned vineyards to organic within 3 years.

Representing the topmost expression of a Champagne house, a vintage Champagne is one made from the produce of a single, superior harvest year. Vintage Champagnes account for a mere 5% of total Champagne production and are produced about three times in a decade. Champagne is typically made as a blend of multiple years in order to preserve the house style; these will have non-vintage, or simply, NV on the label. The term, "vintage," as it applies to all wine, simply means a single harvest year.

Associated with luxury, celebration, and romance, the region, Champagne, is home to the world’s most prized sparkling wine. In order to bear the label, ‘Champagne’, a sparkling wine must originate from this northeastern region of France—called Champagne—and adhere to strict quality standards. Made up of the three towns Reims, Épernay, and Aÿ, it was here that the traditional method of sparkling wine production was both invented and perfected, birthing a winemaking technique as well as a flavor profile that is now emulated worldwide.

Well-drained, limestone and chalky soil defines much of the region, which lend a mineral component to its wines. Champagne’s cold, continental climate promotes ample acidity in its grapes but weather differences from year to year can create significant variation between vintages. While vintage Champagnes are produced in exceptional years, non-vintage cuvées are produced annually from a blend of several years in order to produce Champagnes that maintain a consistent house style.

With nearly negligible exceptions, . These can be blended together or bottled as individual varietal Champagnes, depending on the final style of wine desired. Chardonnay, the only white variety, contributes freshness, elegance, lively acidity and notes of citrus, orchard fruit and white flowers. Pinot Noir and its relative Pinot Meunier, provide the backbone to many blends, adding structure, body and supple red fruit flavors. Wines with a large proportion of Pinot Meunier will be ready to drink earlier, while Pinot Noir contributes to longevity. Whether it is white or rosé, most Champagne is made from a blend of red and white grapes—and uniquely, rosé is often produce by blending together red and white wine. A Champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay will be labeled as ‘blanc de blancs,’ while ones comprised of only red grapes are called ‘blanc de noirs.’
