The Champagne Brut Grand Cru 'Royal' by Pommery is a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from the finest Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims in France. The reference vintage, 2009, is described as a "gift from the gods" due to the hot, dry, and very sunny summer that characterized the beautiful season and resulted in juicy, very large grapes, flawless and with near-perfect balance. This Champagne is aged for at least sixty months on the lees and, upon opening, one is overwhelmed by sweet floral notes of honeysuckle and acacia and fruitier notes of dried fig, as well as exceptional mineral hints. A masterpiece to be served during the aperitif or with a Bresse chicken with Combava, a French specialty
