About Maison Pommery

Founded in Reims in 1836, Maison Pommery owes much of its reputation to Madame Louise Pommery. After the death of her husband, Louis Pommery, she took over the house in the 19th century and gave it a decisive new direction.

A true visionary, she developed a vast estate on the Saint-Nicaise hill, using former Gallo-Roman chalk cellars that provided ideal conditions for ageing champagne. She also commissioned a remarkable Elizabethan-style architectural complex, which has become one of the symbols of Reims.

The cellars, first opened to visitors in 1878, now stretch for 18 kilometres, 30 metres underground. Madame Pommery also made champagne history in 1874 by creating the first brut champagne, in response to growing demand for drier, more elegant wines.

After a period under LVMH ownership, Maison Pommery was acquired in 2002 by Vranken Monopole, now Maison Pommery & Associés. The house also continues its long-standing connection with art by hosting contemporary exhibitions in its chalk cellars.

Travellers' review - Maison Vranken-Pommery

  • WE romantique Champagne

    Day 1: Visit to Maison LE GALLAIS in Boursault. Excellent welcome and we learned a lot about champagne from a small house. Exceptional setting. Then on to Château d'Etoges, where we took our room, a little old-fashioned but comfortable and very quiet. Exceptional setting. Renovated bathroom with bathtub and separate shower. Too bad there's no elevator... Gastronomic dinner in the Orangerie du Château: all very good and very well presented. Starter: exceptional mussel lasagne, main course: poultry supreme: good but meat undercooked and firm. Dessert: pavlova: very good. Continental breakfast: perfect. Plenty of choice and unlimited champagne! Day 2: visit to the Pommery cellars: very, very surprising, even breathtaking! A must-see because it's unimaginable. Tasting . Perfect. Lunch at Le Petit Comptoir in Reims. Very good bistro. Excellent welcome. Stay recommended. Perfect Vinotrip organization.

  • Beautiful weekend

    A charming young master's student showed us around Maison Martin. The visit was punctuated by an excellent tasting session, from which we took home a few souvenirs. The meal at Bistrot le 7 was perfect and the visit to the Pommery cellars surprising. We thoroughly enjoyed all these moments, which are always too short.

  • Champagne experiences at the estate

    A visit to Domaine Vranken-Pommery offers the opportunity to discover the historic buildings, the monumental cellars and the UNESCO-listed chalk cellars. Some of the underground galleries were named by Louise Pommery after clients from around the world.
    The tour immerses visitors in the history of the house, the key stages of champagne production and the artistic world that makes Pommery so distinctive. The experience ends with a guided tasting of one or more cuvées.

  • The champagnes

    Pommery champagnes are known for their fresh, elegant and precise style. The house produces several emblematic cuvées, including Pommery Brut Royal, Apanage and Cuvée Louise, each expressing a different aspect of its savoir-faire.
