Pommery
Cuvée Louise Brut Champagne Blend
Champagne, France
This took time to open when it did I leaned towards aged grand cru burgundy as the bubbles were fine and faded fast. Intense power and creaminess as it unfolded. Lots of acid that made this drink well with almost every dish.

Solid vintage bubbles with a fine and silky texture and very fine bubbles.

1 person found it helpfulApr 27th, 2023An exceedingly pretty old gold color in the glass with shy green tinges. A dearth of fine, pristine bubbles. The nose here is so alluring, so delectable. Lemon curd and honey brioche bread. Vanilla custard and orange shavings. There’s a nice element of smoke that begins to permeate after it warms up. Whiffs of red fruits appear after even more time. Really really nice.
Prestige cuvées are always so fun to open, and it’s not just about the champagne. It’s about the occasion, the drama, the mood, the romance, and everything else. 60/40 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Cuvée Louise is so indicative of the Pommery style. The dosage a bit higher than what many of us are now accustomed to but the wine still shows signs of tension because of the impeccable structure and balance.
This is a warm champagne, one that provides comfort. But it also manages to thrill. Full bodied and showing it’s maturity in a very good way. Caramel and soft butter in the mouth along with candied apples and butterscotch. Biscuits, toffee, and melon. The finish is long and rich. Delightful.

HWT - - I’m sure this was expensive since it came in a beautiful box, but for a 20 yr old bobble it didn’t have much flavor.

Mandarin, apricot, white chocolate, brioche, salted almonds, nougat. Silky texture and bubbles, grip, long finish. Delicious.

Crisp, dry and chalky. Perfect with shrimpers on the barbie.

Give this a 1/2 hour in the glass and let it bloom. Creamy apples. Pretty dry.
