Vinification of the Pommery Apanage Blanc de Blancs in GP - Champagne Pommery The vinification of this exquisite champagne begins with the careful cultivation of Chardonnay grapes in the Champagne region. The vines grow on chalky soil, imparting their characteristic minerality to the wine. In line with ecological responsibility, the grapes are hand-harvested from meticulously selected vineyards, with only the best fruit chosen for production. Harvesting takes place in the early morning hours to preserve the grapes' freshness optimally. After harvest, the grapes undergo gentle pressing that separates the must from the skins, creating a clear base. The first fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures to preserve the delicate fruit aromas and ensure vibrant freshness. The must is then fermented in stainless steel tanks or traditional oak barrels, during which the sparkling perlage develops during the second fermentation in the bottle. The maturation occurs on the lees with an automatic and continuous aging process in the cellar for harmonious ripening. During aging, the wine is regularly disgorged by hand to preserve its lively freshness and clarity. The complex aging on the lees develops fine aromas, creaminess, and an elegant structure, making the Pommery Apanage Blanc de Blancs - Champagne Pommery an extraordinary champagne.
