Louise Pommery purchased this 120-acre Champagne estate in Reims in 1868, converting the Gallo-Roman chalk quarries underground into aging caves before building the elaborate winery above. The 2008 Royal represents excellent bang for your buck considering it comes only from Grand Cru vineyards and a much-lauded vintage, offering excellent aging potential...if you can wait to open it!

 

"L'art du Champagne: Pommery is delicacy and liveliness, heart and soul, a style made of finesse which plays a score focusing on the elegance of the aromas rather than on their strength." - Champagne Pommery

An excellent introduction to the brilliance of the 2008 vintage in Champagne, this has a cornucopia of citrus, toast and brioche notes, plus some red-fruit character. Powerful and structured, but very focused with impressive chalky minerality, this is just reaching ideal drinking form. Very long, tantalizing finish, where the high natural acidity is well integrated. A blend of 50% pinot noir and 50% chardonnay all from Grand Cru villages. Drink or hold. - James Suckling

 

A fine, mature Champagne, this is beautifully textured. Fruit is still there, a fine underlay of bright acidity, surmounted by toastiness and minerality. Drink this impressive wine now. - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast

 
A firm, open-knit version, with a fine bead and a chalky underpinning aligned with a subtle mesh of crunchy green pear, Meyer lemon peel and elderflower notes. Shows hints of salted almond and toast point on the finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now through 2027. - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator
