Vinification of The Cuvée 150 Years Brut by Champagne Pommery

The grapes for The Cuvée 150 Years Brut by Champagne Pommery come from the best Grand Cru vineyards of Champagne. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier thrive particularly well on calcareous soils, which give the grapes a special freshness. The selective hand-harvesting is carried out in multiple passes to ensure full ripeness.

The careful pressing of the grapes is traditionally gentle to produce pure, finely fruity musts. The Gentil blend combines the best grapes, guaranteeing the unique balance. The first fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to emphasize freshness and fruitiness. Subsequently, the base wine cuvée is produced, which is essential for the development of effervescence.

The assemblage of the individual base wines is done with utmost care and sensitivity. For the secondary fermentation, the blend is bottled with a special tirage of yeast and sugar. The bottled wine then matures on the yeasts for at least 36 months — a classic Méthode Traditionnelle — responsible for the fine, creamy perlage and complex flavor notes.

After remuage, bottles are disgorged to remove the yeast deposit. The dosage, a mixture of wine and sugar, is carefully measured to give the champagne its characteristic brut style and harmonious balance. The maturation completes the well-thought-out process, resulting in a champagne of radiant clarity and outstanding elegance.
