Description

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

The production of Brut Royal Pommery champagne

Brut Royal in half bottles is made 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, particularly from the prestigious terroirs of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. This blend of grape varieties and crus gives this cuvée a vibrant liveliness and inimitable delicacy.

Under the direction of cellar master Clément Pierlot, the different crus are blended with precision, ensuring the harmony of Brut Royal every year. Vinification follows the Champagne tradition with a first fermentation at low temperature (61°F) to preserve the intensity of the aromas. After bottling, the cuvée rests in Pommery's deep chalk cellars, located 30 meters underground, where the slow second fermentation creates fine, elegant bubbles. The finely adjusted dosage maintains a perfect balance between freshness and complexity.
