As a tribute to Louise Pommery, Pommery has been making this highly sought after, pure and immense mineral luxury cuvée from Champagne since 1979. The wine comes exclusively from specially selected plots on coveted Grand Cru fields in Avize, Cramant and Ay with a blend of primarily Chardonnay and a smaller portion Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Cuvée Louise 2004 is almost a signature example of a rich prestige cuvée, which with its relatively low dosage, singing acidity and extremely pronounced minerality seems extremely focused. Louise stands straw yellow in the glass with intense, elegant aromas of citrus, white flowers, nuts, stone fruits and lime. Focused and resilient, it really unfolds in the taste, where the fruit, the living acidity and the long, sharp mineral aftertaste are beautifully combined in this superb Champagne experience.
