Champagne Pommery's prestige cuvée was first produced in 1979. Named after her daughter and a tribute to Madame Pommery's personality and vision, Cuvée Louise is a champagne with a very low sugar content, reflecting the origins of Brut Nature 1874. Containing wine from three Grand Cru plots: Avize and Cramant for the Chardonnay and Aÿ for the Pinot Noir, Cuvée Louise is aged on the lees for a minimum of eight years. The aim is to strike the perfect balance between the vintage and Pommery's unique tyle.
The Apanage cuvées have been designed specifically for and dedicated to fine dining. In the middle Ages, an apanage was a grant (as of land or revenue) made by a sovereign to a member of the royal family. “Apanage” is evocative of exclusivity and distinction.
Technical Information:
Vineyards: 100% Grand Cru | Aÿ
Grape Varieties: 70% Pinot Noir & 30% Meunier
Base vintage: 2018
Disgorgement: Jan 2023
Lees Ageing: 4 years
Dosage: 9 g/l
Drink: Now to 2030
Tasting Note: The first nose reveals subtle and floating floral notes (acacia, peony) rapidly enveloped by sugary sensations of mirabelle, crushed strawberry and frangipani. The floral notes revealed on the nose are found back on the palate and result in flavours of acacia honey. The heart of the tasting is intense, ample and full-bodied. Nuances of pear, red fruits, and spices reminiscent of Timur berries are mixed. The perfect balance of the finish is underlined by a delicate note of blood orange.
