Pommery Brut Royal NV Champagne: Elegance Worth Celebrating
Champagne 12.5% ABV ABV PommeryThis stuff is dangerously drinkable
Picked up a bottle on a whim and absolutely loved it. Really fresh and crisp with a lemony thing going on at the end that keeps you coming back for more. Went brilliantly with some fish and chips weirdly enough. Will be buying again.
Good everyday Champagne
Well, everyday if you can afford it! Nice mix of the three classic Champagne grapes and you can taste the quality. There's a chalky dryness that stops it being too sweet which I appreciated. Good for when you want something a step up from your usual fizz.
Bit pricey for what it is
The wine shop guy recommended this and it's fine, but I've had Proseccos at half the price that I enjoyed just as much. The strawberry notes are nice and it's smooth enough, but nearly £44 feels steep when you're just having a glass on a Friday night.
Perfect for celebrations
Bought this for my wife's birthday and we both really enjoyed it. Lovely bubbles, not too heavy, and you get that nice brioche-y warmth that makes it feel properly special. At £43 it's not cheap but honestly for Champagne it's pretty reasonable.
Solid Champagne, nothing flashy
Had this at a friend's dinner party and thought it was decent. Nice balance of fruit and a bit of toasty bread flavour. Does the job well but didn't blow me away — I'd probably reach for it again if it was on offer though.
