Valentine Champagne From Pommery

Pommery & Greno was founded in 1858 by Alexandre Louis Pommery and Narcisse Greno. They were a leading Champagne house then, and still are today, just under a bigger corporate umbrella. The house is now a part of the Vranken-Pommery Monopole Group.

Clément Pierlot is the 10th cellar master of Pommery champagnes. He oversees the Brut Rosé Royal, which brings together nearly forty different crus from Champagne. It is made from a blend of red wine and different vintages vinified as white wine. The grapes used are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Alcohol is 12.5% abv and the retail price is around $75. 

This wine pours up with a frothy, white head with persistent bubbles. The color is a pretty onion skin pink. On the nose, the yeasty aroma dominates the apple, berry, and pear notes. The palate displays flavors of apple, toast, and minerality. The acidity is fantastic and the finish is lengthy.
