Champagne Pommery

Champagne Pommery

Pommery is a Champagne house located in Reims. Founded in 1836, it was not until 1874 that Madame Pommery, the founder, created the first brut champagne: Pommery Nature 1874. Considered the largest Champagne vineyard, Pommery covers no less than 670 hectares. This area is exclusively devoted to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Maison Pommery produces different cuvées: Pop, Apanage, cuvée Louise (in homage to Madame Pommery), the Brut cuvée and the ‘Clos de Pompadour‘ range of cuvées. The latter bears the charming name of Madame de Pompadour.

These wines come from the 25 hectares of ‘Clos de Pompadour‘ within the walls of Domaine Pommery. For a tasting, we recommend the Pommery Brut Royal 2005 and the Pommery Cuvée Louise 1998.

It was in 1836 that the future Pommery house was founded 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 modernize the Pommery house. Under her direction, sales increased, and Mrs. Pommery undertook ambitious work to build Elizabethan-style buildings on what was then only a vacant lot.

It was in 1870 that the gigantic work began to build an estate with English architecture that would remind its clients, mostly British, of their native country. The construction site was immense, and underground galleries had to be dug to connect the 120 or so chalk pits that dotted the land. A network of 18 kilometers of chalk galleries was then created, dug by miners that Pommery brought from the north of France. But Mrs. Pommery's other stroke of genius was to automate her cellars. She had a rail system installed in the galleries to hang wicker baskets to quickly and easily transport the bottles.

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