Pommery Pop Champagne

Could there be anything cuter than these mini-champagne bottles?? I’m completely in love with the adorable Pommery POP bottles! Introduced in 1999, Pommery Pop is a single-serve champagne bottle (187ml) which is sold individually or in a four-pack (each bottle comes with its own matching straw!). Each bottle contains Pommery’s world-renowned, award wining Champagne and the bottles are perfectly sized for picnics, for parties, or for just a fun night-in when you don’t feel like busting-out Champagne glasses. Just pop a bottle, grab the straw, and start indulging! Here’s the lowdown on three of the Pop bottles I was able to try –

Pommery Blue POP, NV ($10.99/187ml – also available in 750ml bottle for $49.99; four 187ml bottles go for $43.99), is the original POP. It has less fizz and a taste that is just a bit sweeter than the traditional brut style Champagne. The recommended pairing for Blue Pop (which comes housed in gorgeous cobalt blue bottle), is BBQ grub like hamburgers and kabobs (though it would taste great with most anything). This is a very accessibly Champagne. It’s pale yellow in color and there are sweet notes of fresh citrus on the palette.

Following the success of Pommery Blue Pop, Pink POP ($12.99/187ml – also available in 750ml bottle for $54.99; four 187ml bottles go for $52) was introduced. Pink POP is a genuine AOC rosé Champagne that has slightly less fizz and a touch more sweetness than a traditional brut style rosé Champagne. It has a pale pink color and is a perfectly balanced, fresh fruits wine that would pair just as wonderfully with seafood as it would with Asian cuisine. Plus nothing beats the chic pink bottle for a memorable statement no matter the occasion!

Lastly, Pommery POP America Champagne, NV ($14.99/187ml) — just in time for patriotic summer festivities!  Like Blue and Rosé POP, America is a slightly sweeter style than the more traditional brut Champagne. How perfect is this for 4th of July!? The bottle is a true keepsake – it’s so fabulous I could even see this making a great centerpiece or decorative touch at a summertime BBQ.

As a side tidbit, come November POP Earth will be hitting the States and will be housed in a bottle that is 100% recyclable. The labels will be made from recycled paper and printed with water soluble inks and the bottles are light to reduce pollution in transportation. All of the wines at Champagne Pommery use sustainably farmed grapes.
