Louis Pommery England Brut NV is the realisation of a vision that began in Champagne and crossed the channel to Hampshire — where the same vein of chalk that runs beneath the Champagne region of France continues beneath the English countryside. Pale straw yellow with perfectly formed, continuously rising bubbles; freshness and finesse on the nose with yellow citrus aromas giving way to white fruit, predominantly pear, followed by vine-ripened peach; a beautiful balance and rich harmony on the palate, with a well-controlled dosage that leaves no impression of sweetness. A very forthright and bold wine, and a remarkable expression of what English sparkling wine can be in the hands of one of Champagne’s most storied Maisons.
Appearance
Lovely and delicate pale straw yellow — the bubbles and effervescence forming perfectly as they continuously rise, giving the impression of a wine full of life and the precision that Pommery’s revolutionary yeast encapsulation method delivers.
Aroma
Freshness and finesse — yellow citrus aromas on the first nose, with white fruit, predominantly pear, followed by vine-ripened peach on the second. The aromatic purity and clarity that Thierry Gasco’s revolutionary yeast encapsulation method produces: completely free of sediment, with an exceptional aromatic range.
Palate
Beautiful balance and rich harmony — the citrus, pear, and peach aromatics following through and heightening on the palate, with a straight, clean finish free of harshness and a well-controlled dosage that leaves no impression of a sugary taste. Forthright, bold, and immediately satisfying.
Pairs With
Fresh oysters, smoked salmon, soft cheeses, light seafood, or simply as the perfect aperitif — the fine bubbles, citrus freshness, and elegant dosage make Louis Pommery England Brut NV a versatile and refined partner for any occasion that calls for something exceptional.
