help Pommery FAQ

Why is Pommery known for exceptionally dry champagne?

Pommery is widely credited with pioneering the commercial brut style in 1874, when Madame Pommery launched a deliberately dry champagne against a market that overwhelmingly drank sweet ones. That history is why the house's flagship remains Brut Royal.

Where is Pommery located and can you visit?

The house is in Reims, in the heart of the Champagne region, sitting above vast Roman-era chalk cellars known as crayères. Those historic cellars are part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing for the Champagne slopes, houses, and cellars inscribed in 2015.

When was Pommery founded?

The business traces its origins to 1836 under Alexandre Pommery, though it was his widow Jeanne Pommery who transformed it into a great champagne house in the 1860s and 1870s. Her push toward dry champagne defined the brand's identity.

What does Pommery Brut Royal pair well with?

Its dry, brisk profile works classically with oysters, shellfish, and sushi. Serve it well chilled but not ice-cold, around 8 to 10 degrees Celsius, so the finesse from its long lees aging isn't masked.
