Listen "A Toast to Champagne with Pommery winemaker Clément Pierlot"
Episode Synopsis
Few wines have as strong a sense of place as Champagne, so it's a treat to delve into what makes a great Champagne with the Chef des Caves (chief winemaker) of Champagne Pommery, Clément Pierlot. Clément joins host Lyn Farmer to chat about all things Champagne. We explore Pommery's 190 year history, a wine he is making to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Madame Pommery's introduction of the first Brut Champagne in 1874, what contributes to a Champagne's style, trends in Champagne and why Champagne Houses (the brands) produce so many different wines. A particular focus, and where we begin the conversation, is the role of global warming in Champagne - there is a lot to uncork! Love bubbles? Pommery is one of the classic houses in the region, and this visit with Clément Pierlot offers a refreshing take on a great wine!
