Pommery ‘Cuvée Louise’ 2005 Vintage Champagne

Description

Pommery has been made in Reims since 1836. Under the guidance of pioneering Madame Pommery, it was the first house to create the Brut style of Champagne. First created in 1979 to celebrate the house’s exceptional winemaking heritage, Cuvée Louise is made with grapes from three Grand Cru villages: Ay, Avize and Cramant – so you can expect quality in every sip. It’s left to age gracefully for over a decade in Maison Pommery’s cellars, where it slowly builds texture and complexity. 2005 was a brilliant year with all the ingredients for making stellar wine – so it’s no surprise that it was awarded 97 points by renowned critic James Suckling. Expect an elegant wine with complex floral notes and flavours of peach, pear, vanilla and toasted hazelnuts. It’s layered and structured, so pair this with oyster mushrooms or asparagus with mousseline sauce.
