Pommery Apanage Blanc de Blancs Champagne (75cl)

A Blanc de Blancs from the Pommery Apanage range, made with 100% Chardonnay. That usually gives a fresher, more citrus-driven Champagne with finer bubbles and less weight than blends with Pinot in them. Chill it, open it before people sit down, and let it carry the first half of the meal. Blanc de Blancs Champagne typically shows lemon, pear and white flowers over a chalky, dry finish, with fine persistent bubbles. Serve well chilled at around 7-9°C in a proper wine glass rather than a narrow flute.
