British Business Awards 2024 – BCCJ Bar

Louis Pommery

England Brut (Served as part of the Louis Pommery champagne reception)

The Louis Pommery cellar master has combined premium English grapes with the wine making tradition and expertise of the Pommery House to create a distinctive, fresh and elegant wine.  Their winemaker, Clément Pierlot, has applied the same traditional method he uses in Champagne – but this time in Hampshire. It’s crisp and concentrated, with notes of waxy lemon, Granny Smith, freshly baked bread and honeycomb. In 2022, this wine won an IWC award and a Decanter award.

Wimbledon Brewery is highly regarded in the UK for its commitment to traditional brewing methods, using British barley, native hops and a distinctive yeast strain.

Wimbledon Pale Ale – The first beer brewed by Wimbledon Brewery and proved to be an instant hit in pubs throughout South West London. The middle palate is clean with the Maris Otter malt character coming through with orange fruits merging with the final refreshing bite of bitterness.

Wimbledon IPA– This English style IPA is brewed with only the finest possible ingredients. The fruity, spicy, floral hop aromas lead to a full, rich, almost light fruit cake middle palate, ending with a clean dry bitter finish.
