Cuvée Louise 2005 casket

2005 was an outstanding year, and Pommery chose its largest parcels and finest grapes for it. The Cuvée Louise remains faithful to the three grands crus of Aÿ, Avize and Cramant. Dosed as an extra brut, it preserves the personality of the wine. The mousse is fine and delicate. The nose is elegant, with floral aromas followed by spicy notes. The palate carries on in the same vein, and the finish has a delicate bitterness.

Serve the champagne at 10 to 12 °C in a large white wine glass. It is lovely on its own, but it also accompanies refined dishes such as pan-fried lobster with black truffle or steamed turbot. The bottle comes in a luxurious gift box, which makes it a fitting present for connoisseurs.
