🍾 Pommery Apanage 1874 Rosé
Pommery Apanage 1874 Rosé: a non-vintage rosé Champagne from Pommery. Three Champagne grapes, including Chardonnay (according to the house).
Pommery Apanage 1874 Rosé is a non-vintage rosé Champagne from the house Pommery in Reims (Marne).
According to the house, the cuvée blends Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier from the 2017, 2018 and 2019 vintages; its red wines come from Bouzy and Verzenay.
The house Pommery is based in Reims; according to the house, its wines mature in 18 kilometres of galleries in old chalk pits.
The boundaries of the Champagne area were set by a law of 6 May 1919: parts of the Marne, Aube, Aisne, Haute-Marne and Seine-et-Marne departments. The designation’s specification allows seven grape varieties, dominated by Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier; grapes are picked as whole bunches, that is by hand, and the yield is limited to 10,400 kg per hectare.
According to the Comité Champagne, Champagne is served chilled to 8–10 °C, and bottles are kept in the dark at a steady 10–15 °C, without vibration. An opened bottle is best closed with a sparkling-wine stopper and kept cold.
It is sold under the protected designation of origin Champagne: the bubbles come only from a second fermentation in the bottle, and the wine is aged for at least 15 months before sale (36 for vintage). Check the label for the sugar term (brut, extra brut and so on): the house does not state it on the wine's page.
Why it matters to you. No year on the label means it is not a vintage wine: the house may blend wines from different harvests. The WHO reminds: there is no safe level of alcohol.
