The latest release of Cuvée Louise is one of the last of the deluxe cuvées to be released, indicative of the importance attached to both pre- and post-disgorgement chez Pommery. Louise, more formally known as Jeanne-Alexandrine Louise Pommery, was the founder of the House in the late 19th century. The 2005 is the child of a warm and sometimes balmy vintage, reflected in the glass by distinctive aromas of vanilla pod, gingerbread and soft spice. Exceptional grand cru provenance (two thirds Chardonnay from Avize and Cramant, and one third Pinot Noir from Aÿ) is underlined by the impressive concentration and longevity on the palate. This is a generous, playful wine, with hints of toffee and crème brûlée behind the honied autolytic core. Citrus peel, quince and walnut are also evidenced, deferential all to extended ageing and innate complexity. From the eye-caching bottle design all the way through to the rich mid-palate generosity, this a definitive and authoritative statement.

A fresh and lacy Champagne, with a pleasing, creamy range of golden apple, blanched almond and lemon pound cake underscored by a streak of minerally saline and brine. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now through 2030. 8,333 cases made, 1,100 cases imported.

Varietal: Champagne Blend

There are few wine regions of the world with as much influence or fame as that of Champagne in France. The sparkling wines from this special area have long been associated with excellence and magnificent flavors, and much of their success has been down to the careful blending of fine grape varietals in order to achieve spectacular results. Most commonly, Champagne wines use both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varietal grapes in more or less equal measures, often boosted by a small quantity of Pinot Meunier for extra bite. The Chardonnay varietal grapes offer their acidity and flavor to the bottle, and help with the dryness associated with quality in this type of wine. The Pinot Noir, on the other hand, gives strength to the wine, and gives Champagne its distinctive 'length' of character.

Region: Champagne

There are very few wine regions in the world quite as famous as Champagne, and the sparkling white wines which are produced there are drank and enjoyed all over the globe as a result of their excellent quality, distinctive features and their association with grandeur and celebration. Wineries have been operating in the cool, damp north-easterly region of Champagne for hundreds of years, and over time have mastered the art of making the most of the Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Petit Meunier grape varietals which grow there across the rolling hillsides and kept in the region's unique 'Champagne caves'. Most commonly, these three varietals are blended together to produce the sparkling white wine, but the popularity of single variety Champagne wines are on the increase.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
