About the Pommery brand:

Pommery, the icon of Champagne, has a rich history and tradition that dates back to 1858 when Madame Pommery took over after the death of her husband. In 1874, she revolutionised the champagne world by creating the first brut champagne, Pommery Nature, breaking with the tradition of very sweet wines and heralding a new direction in champagne production to meet the growing demand for 'dry' wines.

Madame Pommery decided to invest in a unique environment to age her wines, and so in 1868 she began the transformation of the chalk quarries of Reims into monumental cellars. This gigantic construction project was carried out with the help of French and Belgian miners and resulted in a giant underground city with beautifully decorated galleries and a monumental staircase.

The production of Pommery Champagne is carefully managed from the selection of the grapes to the maturation in the cellar, ensuring high quality and a distinctive style. Each Champagne, such as the Brut Royal, is a blend of nearly forty different vintages, while the vintage Cuvée Louise is made from three grands crus, the finest of Pommery's range.

Pommery is also committed to sustainable production, as reflected by its dual certification as a "Sustainable Champagne Winery" and "High Environmental Value". These certifications underline its commitment to environmental protection and sustainability in winemaking.

Champagne Pommery Grand Cru Brut 2009 is not only a testament to an outstanding vintage, but also to the art of the Champagne house of Pommery to create exceptional wines that reflect the essence of their origin and history.
