Vinification of Pommery Apanage Blanc de Noirs - Champagne Pommery The wine is based on carefully selected Pinot Noir grapes sourced from renowned sites in Champagne. Cultivation follows sustainable principles, with gentle care of the vines to maximize the concentration of aromas. The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to ensure the high quality and to guarantee gentle handling during transport to the winery. Vinification begins with controlled, holistic pressing of the grapes in order to obtain the finest musts. The must weight is closely monitored to ensure the perfect balance between fruit and acidity. Spontaneous fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks as well as in traditional barrels, in order to preserve the aromatic diversity. During the favorable maturation period, the fine fruit aromas develop, accompanied by a light creaminess that is later decisive during aging. Aging in bottle takes place according to the traditional Champagne method, in which the second fermentation occurs in the bottle. The bottles rest on the lees, which gives additional depth to the creaminess and complexity of the wine. During the maturation period, which varies depending on the vintage, the typical, lively bubbles develop that make this wine experience precise and appealing. After maturation, the bottles are gently riddled on the riddling racks and disgorged to remove the lees sediment. Finally, the bottle is topped up with a fine dosage of sweetness to achieve the perfect harmony between freshness and fruit.
