It&#8217;s the result of a partnership between Champagne Pommery and Hampshire-based winery Hattingley Valley. The wine is named Louis Pommery, which is Pommery\u2019s new brand for its non-Champagne sparklers, which now also include a Californian wine. The Pommery chef de cave Theirry Gasco has blended this wine with Hattingley\u2019s Emma Rice, and it&#8217;s a Pinot-dominant blend based on the 2015 vintage. Production is 15 000 bottles. Pommery have also purchased 40 hectares of land in Hampshire which has just been planted.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-21976\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pommeryengland2-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pommeryengland2-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pommeryengland2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pommeryengland2-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pommeryengland2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Louis Pommery England Brut NV England<\/strong><br \/>\n12% alcohol.\u00a0This is crisp and taut with good acidity, but also some attractive toasty depth. Combines lemony fruit with some riper apple notes and a very fine texture, with hints of bread, honeycomb and almonds. The dominant feature here is lovely taut, pure fruit.
