Pommery

Producer description of "SA Pommery"

The Champagne House in Reims was founded in 1836 by Louis-Alexandre Pommery (1811-1858). In 1856 he bought into the champagne company Greno & Cie, founded by Narcisse Greno, which for some time operated under the name "Pommery & Greno". After the death of the founder, his widow Jeanne Louise-Alexandrine (1819-1890) took over the company in 1858 and expanded it. The early history of the company is thus strikingly similar to that of its competitor . Louise Pommery acquired a very large plot of land around Reims, which contained numerous lime shafts (Crayeres) from Roman times. These are ideal for storing . An imposing building was erected over the Crayeres, which is still a first-rate tourist attraction today. In 1874, the company was one of the first champagne houses to launch a brut champagne on the market.
