History: Pommery & Greno was established in 1836, but it was the highly entrepreneurial Jeanne-Alexandrine Louise Pommery, who in 1858 took over the running of the business after the unexpected death of her husband, that made sure the Pommery name and reputation was internationally recognised. Madame Pommery launched the first commercially successful 'Brut' Champagne in history 'Pommery Brut Nature 1874', at a time when champagne was excessively sweetened with sugar.

Grape variety: Chardonnay (34%), Pinot Meunier (33%), Pinot Noir (33%). Current vintage: NV. Regional information: Champagne is north-east France and widely recognised for its prestigious sparkling wine made by traditional method. The vineyards of Champagne are planted in three distinct areas south of the city of Reims. The 'Montagne de Reims' is predominately Pinot Noir, the backbone to the Champagne blend, whilst in the south 'Cote des Blancs has chalky slopes best suited to Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier dominates the 'Vallee de la Marne`. The secret of Champagne is in the blend, with choice of variety and vineyards to achieve the 'house style'. Champagne produces a range of styles depending on varieties used and ageing which determine the character of the wine.
