Pommery Cuvée Brut Royal is a classic non-vintage Champagne, masterfully blended from the three traditional grape varieties of the region: predominantly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, complemented by a touch of Pinot Meunier. The precise ratios and selection of reserve wines contribute to the signature consistency and elegance of the house style. This sparkling wine undergoes a meticulous traditional method vinification, including secondary fermentation in bottle, which confers its persistent, fine mousse and complex autolytic character. Being non-vintage, it is designed to express freshness, balance and immediate appeal rather than long-term ageing potential.
The Champagne region is located in the north-east of France, distinguished by its cool continental climate and a unique mosaic of chalky soils. The deep chalk subsoil imparts remarkable finesse and minerality to the wines, assisting in drainage and regulating vine temperature throughout the growing season. Centuries of winemaking tradition and innovation define the history here, with each house cultivating its own identity. Pommery itself, renowned for its pioneering style, is rooted in Reims and has long epitomised elegance, delicacy and the celebrated lightness of Champagne.
With its fresh, citrus-led nose, notes of green apple, white flowers and delicate brioche, Pommery Brut Royal is impressively versatile at the table. It pairs especially well with light appetisers such as oysters, scallop carpaccio, or a simple tuna tartare. For regional harmony, consider serving it with gougères or Chaource cheese, both Champagne classics. Its brisk acidity and creamy texture make it suitable for sushi, sashimi, smoked salmon canapés, and even lightly spiced Asian dishes.
For optimal enjoyment, serve Pommery Brut Royal nicely chilled, between 8-10°C. Pour into slender flute glasses to best appreciate its effervescence and refined aromas. At this temperature, the freshness and vibrancy will be retained, ensuring every glass is lively and refreshing.
