PommeryApanage Brut Bottle (0.75L) | Naked Bottle
The Pommery Apanage Brut champagne is a gastronomic cuvée. “Apanage” evokes distinction and privilege, but also unctuousness and elegance, thanks to a stronger blend of Chardonnay and a more confidential dosage, thus remaining in the spirit desired by Madame Pommery, i.e. a “velvety and well-melted” champagne.
The wine appears in a superb pale yellow color with very light golden reflections. The bubbles are fine and delicate.
On the nose
The fine buttery, almost pastry-like aromas are quickly joined by a bouquet of wild flowers and notes of candied citron and blood orange. Some refreshing red berry notes are also subtly revealed.
In the mouth
The frank attack, the unctuousness, the freshness and the length are the characteristics of this great wine. The creamy notes are found in the mouth associated with notes of dried apricot and citrus. Some floral notes almost honeyed come to give to the assembly the essential complexity.
Ideal champagne for a refined aperitif, it will then accompany the best dishes during a meal. It is ideal with scallops in cream sauce, grilled white meat or Comté cheese.
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.
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.
