Description

The champagne Pommery Brut Royal in half-bottle perfectly embodies the characteristic style of the house of Pommery: freshness, dynamism, and elegance. This cuvée, resulting from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, is ideal for intimate tasting moments or for a refined aperitif in a small group.

The making of Pommery Brut Royal champagne

The Brut Royal in half-bottle is crafted from a majority of Chardonnay, enhanced by the balanced presence of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The grapes are carefully selected from 40 renowned villages in the Champagne region, notably from the prestigious terroirs of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. This marriage of grape varieties and crus gives this cuvée a brilliant vivacity and an inimitable delicacy.

Under the direction of cellar master Clément Pierlot, the different crus are assembled with precision, ensuring the harmony of the Brut Royal each year. Vinification follows the Champagne tradition with a first fermentation at low temperature (16°C) to preserve the intensity of the aromas. After bottling, the cuvée rests in the deep chalk cellars of Pommery, located 30 meters underground, where the slow prise de mousse creates fine and elegant bubbles. The dosage, finely adjusted, maintains a perfect balance between freshness and complexity.
