Looking for a unique present for the Champagne lover in your life?
Here is a wine they will not have tried before.
This is the first release of a new Cuvée from Champagne house Champagne Pommery: the Apanage Brut 1874, a wine designed to go with food
Maison Pommery is this year marking the 150th anniversary of Madame Pommery’s creation of the Brut style - a significant milestone in the history of Champagne.
To celebrate, Pommery’s 10th Cellar Master has followed in the footsteps of his predecessors to craft the Cuvée Apanage Brut 1874.
It is “a bold, modern interpretation of Brut designed to capture the spirit of 21st-century Champagne making, offering sommeliers, chefs, restaurateurs and wine enthusiasts a versatile and sophisticated option to complement their culinary pursuits”.
“The release of Apanage Brut 1874 honours the rich history of Maison Pommery, whilst looking boldly to the future. Apanage 1874 encapsulates the essence of Pommery - crafted with the finest terroirs and designed for those who appreciate the artistry of champagne, ready to enhance the most exquisite dining experiences worldwide” says Clément Pierlot, Pommery Chef de Cave.
In creating the Apanage Brut 1874, Clément Pierlot drew from a selection of top vintages, with the 2018 vintage forming the core of the blend, elevated by touches of the 2015 and 2012 vintage, and Pommery’s reserve wines for added complexity.
This thoughtful combination offers an exceptional balance and originality, making it a versatile option for both exclusive wine lists and high- end tastings enjoyed in the home.
The multi-faceted wine is a blend of traditional trio chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier from a swathe of leading Champagne regions.
Thoroughly modern with a nod to the past it has “a focus on freshness, tension, minerality and umami”.
Pommery Apanage Brut 1874 is now available at top restaurants across Australia and via David Jones and The Prince Wine Store. RRP: $165.00
