Cuvée Louise 1999

The Cuvée Louise is the prestige cuvée of Pommery. It bears the name of Madame Louise Pommery, who ran and shaped the house in the 19th century after her husband's death. The champagne is made only in the best years, and 1999 is one of them. The house describes it as a wine of great purity, combining finesse, complexity and elegance.

With an ageing potential of more than ten years, this vintage is one of those bottles that reward patience and call for calm. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C, no colder, so that it can open up. A large white wine glass or a tulip glass suits it better than the narrow flute. At the table it accompanies refined dishes such as scallops, lobster or delicately cooked poultry without overpowering them.
