POMMERY
A producer of red wine up until 1858, the then demise of Monsieur Pommery prompted his wife
to transform the business into one of the power houses of the region, today producing Champagne
of real elegance.
Taste Size
POMMERY, Brut Rosé C VG
A delicate pale rosé with light salmon pink colours. It’s bubbles
are fine and persistent. It’s bouquet of small berries gives the
impression of roundness and softness brightened up by fine
freshness and vivacity.
POMMERY, Greno Prestige Brut Champagne NV C V
On the eye this Champagne boasts a superb golden yellow colour
with a few reflections sprinkled with slightly green nuances. It has
a fine brilliance and good limpidity revealing fine, discreet, mother
of pearl-like bubbles.
POMMERY, Lumiere Champagne NV C
Fresh, easy, delicate and open. Notes of citrus and white flowers
combined with light berry notes.
POMMERY POP, Blue NV C
Extreme brilliance paired with great elegance.
Effervescence of great Champagnes, highlighted by very fine bubbles.
POMMERY POP, Silver NV C V
In the mouth, light, sweet, fruity, flattering and rounded.
Easy to consume and to savour.
POMMERY, Royal Blue Sky C V
Notes of dry figs and dried almonds, punctuated by several hints of
spices. On the palate, announced softness takes shape and provides the
wine with its generosity and volume. Fresh, with good length.

TAITTINGER
Champagne for the independently minded, their origins date back to 1734 with the founding of
the original house. Pierre-Emmanuel, grandson of the founder, today presides over Taittinger
and maintains a high degree of control over sourcing the grapes. Leaning toward a majority blend
of Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, the house style is that of elegance, finesse and delicacy within
every bottle produced.
TAITTINGER, Brut Vintage C VG
Sourced primarily from Taittinger’s Grand and Premier Cru vineyards
situated in the three main regions; equal proportions of Chardonnay
and Pinot Noir contribute to the blend. Lively, with a fine mousse
and an elegant biscuity finish.
TAITTINGER, Prelude C VG
A brilliant, pale yellow with silvery highlights. The bubbles are fine
and form a lasting and delicately creamy mousse. The nose is subtle
and fresh. Initial mineral aromas quickly develop into green, floral
scents with hints of elder flower and spicy cinnamon overtones.
Flavours are dominated by intense fresh citrus fruit which then give
way to a much fuller, well-bodied and mellow taste with flavours
reminiscent of white peaches in syrup.
TAITTINGER, Folies de la Marquetterie C VG
Intense, highly fruity bouquet with notes of peaches,
apricot jam and vanilla.
TAITTINGER, Comtes de Champagne Rosé C
This Champagne features extraordinarily delicate bubbles and a fresh,
highly refined nose with complex aromas of wild strawberries, morello
cherries and black currants with hints of fresh almonds and liquorice.
On the palate, the initial fruitiness quickly intensifies and leads into
a rich, structured midpalate and a generous finish that maintains
balance and freshness.
