Cuvée Louise 2004

The Cuvée Louise from Pommery is made only in the best years, and 2004 is one of them. It is a tribute to Louise Pommery, who shaped the house in the 19th century, and is regarded as an expression of Pommery's oenological heritage. This vintage is dosed as an Extra Brut. The low dosage lets the character of the wine come through unaltered and suits the house's aim of purity and precision.

You can expect a champagne that combines finesse and complexity with elegance, without sugar softening the contours. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a wide-bowled white wine glass. It goes well with raw or gently cooked fish, oysters and scallops. An evening without food works well too, if you give it time in the glass.
