Background:

Winemaking:
Pommery Apanage Rosé NV is crafted using the traditional Champagne method. The winemaking process requires high precision, a distinct grape blend, and prolonged cellar aging. The wine spends approximately 4 years on its lees en tirage in the estate's historic chalk cellars, followed by a minimum of 6 months of aging after disgorgement to develop its complex, toasty brioche notes.

Grapes: 42% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir & 18% Pinot Meunier

Tasting note:
Aromas of little red berries like red currants, raspberries and woodland strawberries combine. Rich and well-balanced. It allows all the hinted-at flavors to develop by revealing their aromas.

It pairs perfectly with delicate seafood, such as salmon sashimi, tuna tartare, and grilled prawns, as well as light white meats and mild soft cheeses. For the most authentic local pairings in Hong Kong, consider elevating your dinner by matching this Champagne with premium Cantonese roast duck and delicate seafood dim sum.
