Champagne Pommery

Pommery is a Champagne house located in Reims. Founded in 1836, it wasn't until 1874 that Madame Pommery, the founder, created the first brut champagne: Pommery Nature 1874. Considered the largest vineyard in Champagne, Pommery boasts no less than 670 hectares. This area is exclusively dedicated to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes.

The House of Pommery produces various cuvées: The Pop cuvées, Apanage, Cuvée Louise (in tribute to Madame Pommery), the Brut cuvée as well as the 'Clos de Pompadour' cuvée range. The latter bears the charming name of Madame de Pompadour. These wines come from the 25 hectares of the 'Clos de Pompadour' within the walls of the Pommery Estate.

For a tasting, we recommend the Pommery Brut Royal 2005 and the Pommery Cuvée Louise 1998.

The future Pommery house was founded in 1836 by Narcisse Greno. Twenty years later, he was joined by Mr Pommery. And it was following the latter's premature death that the Pommery saga truly began. It was his wife, Jeanne-Alexandrine Louise Melin, who took over the management of the establishment in 1858. In a few years, she would profoundly transform and modernise the Pommery house. Under her direction, sales multiplied, and Madame Pommery undertook ambitious works to build Elizabethan-style buildings on what was then only a wasteland.

It was in 1870 that the gigantic works began to build an estate with English architecture that was meant to remind its clients, largely British, of their native country. The construction project was immense, it was necessary to drill underground galleries to connect the approximately 120 chalk pits that riddled the land. A network of 18 kilometres of chalk galleries was then created, dug by miners that the Pommery house brought in from northern France. But Madame Pommery's other stroke of genius was to automate her cellars. She had a rail system installed in the galleries allowing wicker baskets to be hung to transport bottles quickly and easily.

In 2002, the company Vranken Monopole incorporated Maison Pommery into its Group.
