Homage to the creation of brut champagne
Elegance, finesse and freshness have always defined the style of Champagne Pommery. This historic house from Reims is regarded as a pioneer of a new style of champagne: on the initiative of Madame Pommery, cellar master Olivier Damas developed the first brut champagne in history in 1874 – dry, precise and, at the same time, exceptionally elegant.

This distinctive style finds its modern interpretation today in the Grand Apanage 1874 collection. The trilogy comprising Grand Apanage 1874 Brut, Grand Apanage 1874 Blanc de Blancs and Grand Apanage 1874 Rosé brings together selected vintages from the 2010s. A portion of the Réserve perpétuelle – featuring wines dating back as far as 1995 – and the selection of corresponding Grand Cru vineyards lend the cuvées additional depth and complexity.

The flagship of the house is the prestige cuvée, Cuvée Louise. It was created in 1979 by the then cellar master and Prince Alain de Polignac as a tribute to Madame Pommery. This cuvée is produced only in exceptional vintages, when the quality of the grapes meets the highest standards. The grapes always come from the same three Grand Cru vineyards: Chardonnay from Avize and Cramant, and Pinot Noir from Aÿ.

This is how Champagne Pommery combines tradition and innovation: champagne of exceptional precision that continues the legendary Brut style to this day in a contemporary form.
