About Champagne Pommery
Pommery was founded in 1836 in Reims, the central city of Champagne. In 1874, Madame Pommery created the first Brut (dry) Champagne in the history of Champagne and built the house into the largest producer in the region. Today, the Pommery style is still protected through the intent inherited from Madame Pommery and the refined sensibility, experience, and technique of its cellar master. That style is defined by an elegant aroma, a fresh and lively taste, and an appealing long finish.
