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.
