The Making of Pommery Louise 2005 Champagne Parcelles Edition
The Pommery Louise 2005 Parcelles Edition cuvée is exclusively made from grapes sourced from Grand Cru terroirs. They come from the Grand Cru terroir of Aÿ for the Pinot Noir and the terroirs of Avize and Cramant for the Chardonnays. The 2005 vintage is characterized by a harvest that took place under cool, dry, and sunny weather. This weather allowed for the production of high-quality grapes, combining great maturity with beautiful acidity.
Each selected parcel was meticulously worked to obtain grapes of very high quality, particularly by controlling yields. This cuvée is a tribute to the minerality of the chalky soils of these iconic Grand Cru terroirs. Its 15-year aging in the cellar has enhanced its aromatic potential and structure.
