Cuvée Louise Nature 2004

The Cuvée Louise is the prestige cuvée of Pommery. As a Nature from the 2004 vintage, it dispenses with dosage entirely, although the Louise is dosed very sparingly anyway. This wine has nothing to hide behind, and that is precisely its appeal: it shows origin, vintage and the house's signature without make-up.

In the glass it glows yellow with greenish reflections. The nose opens with lightly dried lemon and white blossom, carried by minerality and freshness. On the palate it is straight and tautly strung, very finely drawn, with a direct finish that leaves a delicate echo. It goes with oysters and other seafood. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a tulip glass or a wide white wine glass so that the aromas can unfold.
