The Brut Apanage from Pommery is a brut Champagne with more reserve grapes than the Brut Royal, giving it extra character.

The Pommery Brut Apanage boasts a pale yellow robe with a persistent effervescence. Refreshing, with great finesse and elegance, it offers creamy, buttery aromas and hints of citrus fruits. The palate is smooth and rich with notes of hazelnut but also dried apricot, vanilla, virginia tobacco and biscuit pastry.

EYE - A superb pale yellow color with very slightly golden highlights. 

NOSE - The finely buttery, almost pastry-like aromas are quickly joined by a bouquet of wild flowers and notes of candied citron and blood orange.

MOUTH - A frank attack, creamy notes on the palate combined with notes of dried apricot and citrus fruits. 

ABOUT POMMERY
After making a fortune in the wool industry, in 1856, Mr Pommery was in fragile health and decided to retire from business and enjoy a quiet life. His son Louis was no longer a child. Mr Pommery and his wife did not have any special plans. They simply wanted to enjoy a well-deserved retirement. But destiny had other things in store for them? Madame Pommery discovered she was expecting a child, at the age of 38. This miraculous pregnancy, more than 17 years after her first, would change their lives forever. To provide for his baby daughter, Mr Pommery decided to go back into business. But the wool industry was in crisis. However, the champagne trade was booming.
