Pommery, Champagne house in Reims, France
Pommery is a champagne house in Reims featuring a neo-Gothic château set within vineyards and connected to an extensive underground network of chalk galleries. These subterranean spaces are used for storing and aging the sparkling wine produced here.
It started as a wool business in 1858 before Louise Pommery transformed it into a champagne producer after her husband's death. This transformation made the company one of the region's leading wine makers.
The estate hosts contemporary art exhibitions within its chalk cellars, creating a dialogue between modern artistic creation and traditional wine-making. You can see how these two worlds interact in the underground spaces.
The estate is open to visitors throughout the year with guided tours available to explore the production process. The underground galleries maintain cool temperatures year-round, making visits comfortable in any season.
The company introduced the first commercial brut champagne in 1874, creating an entirely new category of dry sparkling wine. This innovation transformed the industry and established the house as a pioneer in champagne history.
