Review: NV Louis Pommery Blanc de Blancs Apanage
This festive, chardonnay-based Champagne — now available in a fancy gift box — offers the perfect celebratory composition, featuring a buttery (and not at all yeasty) body with a semi-sweet and boldly fruity quality that evokes notes of lemon curd, mandarin orange, and a slight layer of vanilla. Chewy and creamy but punctuated by acidity, lingering notes of citrus cling to the lengthy finish. If you need a last minute libation to sip on tonight, it’s a Champagne that will work delightfully well without breaking the bank.
