Champagne and Sparkling Feature Week
Pommery Brut Apanage 1874 NV, Champagne, AUD $149
This wine is a blend of grapes from the 2018, 2015 and 2012 vintages, plus ‘reserve perpetuelle’, which is a kind of solera of earlier vintages.
Light yellow, youthful appearance in the glass. Lemon, citrus blossoms and iced pastries to sniff. The wine is refined and delicate in the mouth with apparent chardonnay dominance, the finesse and precision are excellent and the range of lemon/citrus flavours is beguiling. Fresh and fruit driven. Delicious. (Cork)
