2017 Awards: IWC Gold Brut - White French Champagne The Grands Crus selected by Pommery enjoy exceptional locations in vineyards of the Champagne region: their south–south-east exposure ensures maximum sunlight and their cultivation in the middle of hill slopes in rich chalky Champagne terrain guarantees excellent irrigation of the foot of the vines.  Only 7 grand cru sites are used to make this cuvée.  A complex nose of ripe stone fruits and French toast.  More robust on the palate, with a long and structured finish.  As it is a richer style of champagne it can stand up to many different dishes, making it great to drink throughout the meal.
