The Making of Pommery Brut Apanage Champagne

The Pommery Brut Apanage is the result of a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, with a marked dominance of Chardonnay. This grape variety brings freshness, elegance, and structure to the wine. Unlike the Brut Royal, which uses 40 different crus, the Brut Apanage is based on a more limited selection of 17 crus, chosen for their finesse and character.

This cuvée is vinified and aged in stainless steel vats to highlight the tension and freshness of the terroir. The Brut Apanage then ages in the cellars of Pommery Champagne to develop its aromatic complexity. This long aging brings great complexity and increased finesse. The dosage, slightly lower than that of the Brut Royal, allows the essence of the grapes and the terroir to be fully expressed.
