Terrific. A mature vintage Champagne, bursting with biscuit, fig, walnut and coffee tones on a fresh, lively structure. It picks up a hint of mushroom on the finish and has enough weight for the main course.

Producer Information
Pommery is a Champagne house located in Reims and claims to be the inventor of the Brut style of Champagne so popular today. It’s early history is synonymous with Jeanne-Alexandrine Louise Pommery (commonly refered to as Louise Pommery), who guided the house through its early beginnings to substantial growth in the mid 19th Century.Although the Champagne house was nominally founded in 1856 by Alexandre Louis Pommery and Narcisse Greno, the outlines of the operation are sketched in 1836 when Greno takes control of a Champagne négociant business titled Dubois-Gosset (or Gossart, according to some sources), which subsequently becomes Dubois & Greno.Following the death of Dubois in 1839, Greno finds another partner and the firm’s name is changed again, this time to Wibert & Greno. Wilbert pulls out of the business 18 years later and Greno is joined by wool merchant, Alexandre Pommery.
