Vintage 2004:

Cuvée Louise could not ignore a year like 2004, when everything was predestined for it. By taking the time to select the best parcels, being patient and waiting with the harvest, picking only the most beautiful bunches, choosing the purest of juices during pressing, the only possible conclusion was unequivocal: nature is great, generous and beautiful. What could be more marvellous than working with such a precious raw material, so rich and so fine: the assemblage became an exercise blending pleasure and satisfaction. After the years spent in the cellars, the bottles have acquired the maturity which is indispensable for a wine of this kind. Today it is ready for everybody's delight.

Tasting Notes:

It presents itself to the eye with a nice colour and a rare elegance, where the yellow has some subtle greeny touches peeping through, providing it with a wonderful appearance of youth. The effervescence is deployed in a universe of bubbles with an extreme fineness, whichlinger on the surface before they disappear. 

On the nose it releases a quantity of unsuspected fragrances, where everything is well ordered and harmonious. It is rich, generous and silky, allowing for some notes of biscuits, resulting from the effect of the yeasts. It is extended by spicy touches, embellished by floral notes but also fresh fruit with white flesh, like greengage.

The mouth is only the infinite extension of everything the nose was able to reveal. It enhances the olfactory sensations, all in a perfect harmony in C major. Vividness remains whilst being blended with nice flavours of hazelnut butter, yeasts and almond paste. The final has a length which is close to the infinite, highlighting the fineness, purity and nobility of this wine, made to be loved.

ABOUT POMMERY
After making a fortune in the wool industry, in 1856, Mr Pommery was in fragile health and decided to retire from business and enjoy a quiet life. His son Louis was no longer a child. Mr Pommery and his wife did not have any special plans. They simply wanted to enjoy a well-deserved retirement. But destiny had other things in store for them? Madame Pommery discovered she was expecting a child, at the age of 38. This miraculous pregnancy, more than 17 years after her first, would change their lives forever. To provide for his baby daughter, Mr Pommery decided to go back into business. But the wool industry was in crisis. However, the champagne trade was booming.
