The Pommery Champagne House was founded in 1858 when Madame Pommery took over the reins of the Pommery et Greno company after her husband's death. She then decided to link the expansion of her house to the development of her own vineyard, which has now become one of the most beautiful in Champagne.

A visionary and daring woman, ten years later she undertook a vast project to transform her chalk quarries into cellars, with the digging of 18 kilometres of galleries connected to each other 30 metres underground. The sculptor Gustave Navlet added a monumental effect with huge bas-reliefs and a grand staircase of 116 steps connecting the cellars to the outside. A few years later, she had a completely original castle built, in an Elizabethan neo-Gothic style, with turrets, battlements and keeps, combining the red colour of the bricks with the blue-grey of the walls.

In 1874, when it was fashionable to produce high-dose champagnes, semi-dry with more than 32 g/l of sugar and sweet with more than 50 g/l of sugar, she took the risk of creating a low-dose cuvée, the Pommery Nature 1874. This Brut Champagne will be the first to be commercially successful.

The Pommery Champagne House owns 25 hectares of vines, the Clos Pompadour, a walled vineyard within the Domaine, which give a unique cuvée, the Clos Pompadour, available only in magnum.
