Champagne Pommery – Brut Royale
Reims, France 🇫🇷
Overview
A signature non-vintage brut from the historic Maison Pommery, created in homage to Madame Louise Pommery, who revolutionized Champagne in 1874 by launching the first successful Brut style. Crafted from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, sourced from over 40 carefully selected villages across the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, and surrounding areas.

Verdict
A vivid, refined, and timeless Champagne, capturing the legacy of Madame Pommery’s pioneering spirit. Smooth, lively, and endlessly enjoyable — a brut that never disappoints. — a month ago
This exceeds expectations - one of the finer rosé champagnes in its price range.
The nose is vibrant and layered, with bright aromas of raspberry, grapefruit, Asian pear, and clementine, and a delicate touch of brioche. On the palate, it offers a refined mousse, lively acidity, and a beautiful interplay of subtle minerality and grapefruit zest. The finish is long, crisp, and clean. About 1/3 of Chardonnay with unspecified Pinot still wines blended. — 3 months ago

Complex yet smooth with honey apricot pear tones with longhorn finish of minerality — 4 months ago

This wine colors up a pale yellow-green in the glass, with plenty of frothy white bubbles. The nose is full of pears and apples. On the palate, citrus and toast dominate, while the acidity tingles. Aperitif? Sure. Pair it with potato chips? Why not? Cheese plate, salami, birthday cake? Yes, yes, if you must.
