The Champagne region of France is less than 100 miles east of Paris and is made up of the Aube, Marne, Haute-Marne, and Ardennes departments. It is easily accessible by car or train. There is a small airport at Reims (Reims-Champagne Airport) and another in Troyes, and both cities have rail access.
The distance between Paris and Champagne (wine region) is 121 km. The road distance is 148.1 km.
Madame Pommery, wanting to offer English consumers a unique, mainly “dry” wine, decided to invest in a new strategic location that brought together all of the optimal manufacturing conditions. In July 1868, Madame Pommery launched what would be the largest construction project of the century in Reims, the transformation of chalk quarries into wine cellars. French and Belgian miners dug 18 kilometres, 30 metres below the earth, of interconnected galleries formed of barrel vaults and rib vaults. Madame Pommery described her Champagne in two words: joyful lightness.
Pommery Champagnes are expertly crafted by Chef de Cave, Thierry Gasco – the 9th Cellar Master at Pommery, Chef de Cave and Le Figaro’s ‘Man of the Year’ .
Thierry oversees the whole operation from vine to press to bottle, producing thousands of bottles a year, aged in an 18km network of underground cellars; responsible for the blends of the Maison’s different vintages, like the iconic Brut Royal, Brut Millésimé and Cuvées de Prestige, the Cuvée Louise and Cuvée Louise Rosé.
Pommery is delicacy and liveliness, heart and soul, a style made of finesse which plays a score focusing on the elegance of the aromas rather than on their strength.
