Within the Apanage collection, the Pommery Apanage Blanc de Blancs provides a refreshing, precise interlude designed for those who appreciate airy, expressive champagnes. This non-vintage brut cuvée, offered in a 75 cl bottle with gift box, is made exclusively from Chardonnay. It faithfully reflects the liveliness of the grape, drawing inspiration from the Côte des Blancs and terroirs of the Montagne de Reims. Its fine, persistent effervescence delivers a delicate sensation from the first sip, while floral and fruity nuances create a clear, harmonious and lively tasting. As an aperitif, during a bright lunch or to underscore an event that deserves more than a simple gesture, this Pommery bottle adds distinction without weighing down the moment. Its gift box also makes it a ready-to-offer present, chosen with taste to celebrate an invitation, a birthday or an achievement.

Blend and winemaking

This AOC Champagne belongs to the Blancs de Blancs family, a signature that places Chardonnay firmly at the forefront. The grapes come mainly from the Côte des Blancs, renowned for the brightness and tension of its Chardonnays, complemented by terroirs in the northern Montagne de Reims and the hill of Nogent-l’Abbesse. This dialogue of origins gives the cuvée a nuanced expression, between floral finesse, citrus freshness and rounded fruitiness. The brut dosage preserves a clear reading of the wine and leaves room for a straight, clean palate aimed at lovers of precise champagnes rather than overly sweet styles. Tank ageing and the completed malolactic fermentation contribute to the overall balance. Non-vintage, this Pommery Apanage Blanc de Blancs thus offers a coherent interpretation of the house style, where liveliness blends with a supple, measured texture.

Tasting notes

• Effervescence : Fine and persistent, it accompanies the tasting with consistency and brings a feeling of lightness.
• Nose : A floral range evoking jasmine and acacia, extended by hints of citrus and white fruit.
• Palate : A fresh, balanced expression led by Chardonnay and a brut framing that preserves definition and clarity.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve this Champagne between 8 and 10 °C to preserve the finesse of its bubbles and the precision of its aromas. This temperature highlights the cuvée’s floral character, then allows the citrus and white fruit accents to reveal themselves more clearly. For a polished service, open the bottle at the last moment and favour glasses that allow its bouquet to unfold gracefully. Its 75 cl format is naturally suited to a shared moment, whether an aperitif with a few guests or a toast at the start of a meal. Presented in its gift box, the bottle also retains a fine presence when given as a present. It becomes a house gift, selected for the recognition of a major Champagne house and for the immediate pleasure of a well-managed tasting.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs : Its freshness naturally complements delicate canapés and seafood-flavoured bites.
• Starters : It finds an inspired place alongside light preparations where airy textures and fresh flavours shine.
• Fish and shellfish : Its Chardonnay profile pairs well with lightly sauced seafood dishes.
• Seasonal lunches : It can accompany a seasonal lunch or a meal where you want to maintain vivacity until the last glass.
