Pommery Apanage Blanc de Blancs Bottle (0.75L) | Naked Bottle
The champagne Pommery Apanage Blanc de Blancs is a 100% Chardonnay gourmet cuvée. The “Apanage” style evokes distinction and privilege, but also smoothness and elegance.
To the eye
Pale gold color with soft green reflections. Exceptional shine. The effervescence is sustained, with great finesse.
On the nose
Remarkably elegant, the first nose reveals a springtime freshness. Subtle floral notes of jasmine and acacia enter in harmony with delicate nuances of lime. After this first impression of incredible freshness, a great complexity is revealed in which in turn fruity citrus notes and a creamy impression of frangipane are expressed.
In the mouth
The attack is frank, without detour, sign of a very great assembly. The elegance and freshness detected in the nose are found in the mouth. The heart of the tasting is of an exemplary straightness. The citrus and white fruit (fresh apple) aromas take over. The balance of the finish is perfect revealing the subtle flavor of the yellow-fleshed apple.
Food & champagne pairings
The aperitif will be a privileged moment to appreciate this wine, but a caviar baerii, a tartar of sea bream with citrus fruits or a carpaccio of scallops with lime will also reveal other facets of this vintage.
Ideal operating temperature
To appreciate all its finesse and aromas, champagne should be enjoyed chilled (but not iced). Depending on the cuvée, the ideal serving temperature is between 8 and 12°C.
Potential of keeping
Like all wines, champagne can be kept for varying lengths of time, depending on the type. Under optimal storage conditions, champagne can be kept for 1 to 2 years for Brut cuvées, and up to 4/5 years or even longer for vintage and prestige champagnes. Whatever happens, rest assured that you'll never be able to open your champagne too early, as the Champagne Houses only release their cuvées when they have reached perfect ripeness and are ready for immediate consumption.
100% Chardonnay.
