Pommery — Birthplace of the First Brut
Pommery is one of the major Champagne houses in Reims. Founded in 1874, the house is located on Place du Général Gouraud in the Montagne de Reims. The historic achievement: in 1874, Pommery created the first Brut Champagne in Champagne history.
History
1874 was both the founding year and the year Pommery brought the first Brut to market. At a time when Champagne was dosed much sweeter, the house set a new standard: less sugar, more expression of the grapes. This move had a lasting impact on Champagne culture and made Pommery a reference point for dry Champagne.
The Cuvées in Detail
Brut Royal
Pommery Brut Royal combines ripe fruit notes of nectarine and mirabelle plum with brioche aromatics. The balance of fruitiness and minerality is carried by refreshing acidity. A fresh, approachable Brut without technical interference.
Brut Rosé
This Rosé shows red berries and a hint of candy sweetness. The opening seems too softly dosed, and on the palate it lacks drive — the harmony between fruit, acidity, and dosage isn't quite balanced.
