Pommery
Sponsoring drinks
The House of Pommery is one of the most prestigious names in Champagne – a name that is synonymous with contemporary style, elegance and finesse. Pommery was established in 1836 by Alexandre Pommery but it was the highly entrepreneurial Louise Pommery, who took over the running of the business in 1858 after the unexpected death of her husband, that the Pommery name was truly recognised. It is thanks to Louise Pommery, that it is now an international brand, distributed in over 100 countries and one of the top Grande Marque Champagne houses.
