Pommery Blue Sky NV In Gift Box (75cl)

The creation of the 21st century which responds to that of Madame Pommery:

While we owe the creation of Brut in 1874 to Pommery, we also owe the creation of POP in 1999 to it. Hence it is absolutely legitimate for cellar master Thierry Gasco to start working on a more contemporary vision of the tasting of a Pommery champagne. A new universe, open to experiences, ready to choose its consumption habits and liberate.

Pommery created Royal Blue Sky:

The fruit of a new Pommery experience, a traditional champagne-based assemblage, where Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, blended with the sugar, open up towards a happy moment.

Sharing the experience in glasses, which are round like Pommery champagne bubbles and in which ice cubes, the number of which you will have chosen, can chink without difficulty. Royal Blue Sky is a new freedom, the freedom of the Pommery spirit, unconventional but genuine.

Tasting Notes:

It is important to start by looking at the beauty of this wine, which opens itself up with a nice pale yellow colour and a stunning effect, which attracts the eye and captures it. You are quickly hypnotised by this wine that you want to discover as soon as possible.

With the aromas it releases, we have the impression to place our nose above an enormous buffet of desserts whose aromatic complexity overcomes us. In a first nose we perceive notes of dry figs, dried almonds. Then with a second nose, we find touches of almond paste, millefeuille, marshmallow, honey, whilst all the flavours blend with simplicity and elegance with lemony and dried orange notes, all punctuated by several hints of spices.

On the palate this announced softness takes shape and provides the wine with its generosity and volume. You perceive all the descriptors already identified by the nose, but everything is expressed in a silky and fat universe. Now and then, along with a little agitation, you will be surprised to discover notes of rather ripe mangoes, but also bitter orange jam associated with flavours of white vermouth, through its fresh and spicy side. The wine has a very nice length on the palate and its final remains very pleasant and marked by great freshness.

Background Information :

Madame Pommery created the first successfully marketed Brut Champagne 'Pommery Nature 1874' at a time when most Champagnes were excessively sweetened by sugar. This set the benchmark for the rest of Champagne and it is in this spirit that the style of Pommery endures; with each unique cuvée displaying elegance, finesse and true class. Today, all of the wines are expertly crafted by Chef de Cave, Thierry Gasco - the 9th Cellar Master at Pommery.

Pommery boasts some of the finest cellars in Reims, with over 18 kilometres of galleries hollowed out of chalk. Residing some 30 metres under the ground, these keep the maturing wine at a steady 10°c throughout the year. Pommery has continually been a generous patron of the arts and upholds this responsibility today, using the building as a venue to exhibit exciting contemporary art.
