Pommery
About Pommery
The French champagne house located in Reims has become one of the region’s largest champagne brands. Continuing the legacy of Madame Pommery, Pommery produces over 5 million bottles a year and attracts thousands of visitors to its beautiful estate. Pommery is a stand-out name in Champagne history.
It rose to fame under the stewardship of Louise Pommery, who lost her husband, Alexandre Louis Pommery, just 6 months after he founded the estate. Louise Pommery introduced the Brut style of Champagne at a time when it was considered a norm for Champagnes to be sweet. Pommery owned a staggering 741 acres of vines, including sites in 7 Grand Cru villages. Notably, LVMH, who once owned Pommery, sold it in 2002 to the Vranken-Pommery Monopole Group on the condition that it retained ownership of the vast majority of Pommery’s vineyards – a sure sign of the quality of Pommery’s vines!

Vinous (91)Yeasty aromas of toasted bread, toffee and roasted hazelnut, along with brighter apple and pear fruit notes. Fresh and brisk, with excellent breadth and weight. A very rich, fairly dry and harmonious wine with a long, lively finish. Structured and fine for a '89. This bottle showed far fresher than the sample I tasted a year ago. |
