Pommery Brut Apanage Champagne in Limited Edition Gift Box
Apanage is Pommery's more considered cuvée: a reinforced proportion of Chardonnay gives the wine an assertive, elegant core, drawn from a tight selection of seventeen characterful villages rather than the broad blend behind the standard Brut. It's then left to mature in the chalk cellars beneath Reims for six months longer, which is where the extra subtlety and finesse come from.
The result is a Champagne with real smoothness and depth - the house describes it as made for the table, and it drinks like it. For a gift, that makes it an easy upgrade on a familiar name: recognisably Pommery, but the version someone who knows the house would reach for themselves.
