Pommery POP Silver 20cl
Silver POP is the newest addition to Pommery's POP range - the same rule-breaking idea that launched in 1999, when Pommery became the first house to make a Champagne designed to be drunk straight from the bottle, through a straw if you liked. It was aimed at a younger crowd who found the usual Champagne ceremony a bit much, and a whole category of single-serve fizz followed.
This is the one in the bright, mirror-silver bottle. Inside it is proper Pommery: the classic three-grape Champagne blend, led by Pinot Noir for roundness, with Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay from around Reims for freshness. It comes in a 20cl bottle with a real cork, a full-size wire cage and silver foil - a Champagne bottle in miniature.
It's made in the Extra Dry style, which sits just off-dry - a touch softer and rounder than a brut - so it's easy, fresh and fruity. One bottle is a single generous glass. Serve it as cold as you can, straight from the fridge.
