Champagne Pommery

What Champagne Pommery does

Champagne Pommery is a French champagne house headquartered in Reims, founded in 1858 when Madame Pommery assumed leadership of Pommery & Greno. Operated today as MAISON POMMERY & ASSOCIÉS, a French société anonyme with registered capital of EUR 134,056,275, the company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Vranken-Pommery Monopole Group led by Paul-François Vranken and Nathalie Vranken. The House produces a tiered portfolio of cuvées ranging from the accessible POP 20cl portable format, through Brut Royal, Cuvée Apanage, Apanage 1874 vintage assemblages, to the prestige Cuvée Louise and the magnum-only Les Clos Pompadour, sourced from a network of selected villages and three Grand Crus (Avize, Aÿ, Cramant). Its primary customers are premium individual champagne consumers, art and culture tourists visiting the Reims estate, and corporate or private-event clients hosting receptions on-site.

The production platform rests on traditional méthode champenoise winemaking, second fermentation in bottle, and assemblage of the three Champagne grape varieties (pinot noir, pinot meunier, chardonnay). A defining technical asset is 18 kilometres of interconnected chalk cellars, the crayères, dug 30 metres below the earth and maintained at a constant 10°C, which enable long lees aging and capacity for tens of thousands of bottles. The estate also contains a 25-hectare walled vineyard, Clos Pompadour, within the city of Reims, whose output exists exclusively in magnum format. The cellars were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015, and the Group has held double certification for Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne and High Environmental Value since 2014.

The business model is anchored on direct-to-consumer sales through a dedicated e-commerce storefront (shop.vrankenpommery.com), on-site cellar visits and paid tastings, and a private receptions business at the Reims estate. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and ranges from unit pricing on POP to quote-based pricing on premium cuvées. Brand marketing is delivered via a trilingual (FR/EN/DE) official website, Facebook and Instagram channels, and the Expérience Pommery contemporary art program, which has hosted 300+ artists over 20 years in the UNESCO-listed cellars and functions as both a cultural platform and a hospitality marketing asset.
