Housed in the Château la Gordonne, Champagnes Pommery has unique architecture with a stairwell going down 116 steps to the maze of caves. Since 1976, their mission has been to respect biodiversity and ecological practices by cultivating their wines in a sustainable manner. They even graze 2,000 sheep in the vineyards every winter to create organic manure of the highest quality.
It's important to highlight that Pommery is only made at Château la Gordonne, but the company owns two other château properties with vineyards that they use to make other brands of wine. There are two brands produced at this site: Vranken and Pommery, which are both branded under the Vranken-Pommery Monopole company.
Cuvée Lyesse is their vintage variety champagne for Pommery, while Demoiselle is the "above years" variety for Vranken. Pommery is best known for its Brut Royal, Brut Grand Cru Millésimé, and it's vintage Champagne Cuvée Lyesse. The cellars are open for you to visit. Try a wine tasting of shop at the boutique. Reservations are required. Use our Reims day trip planning site to add Champagnes Pommery and other attractions to your Reims vacation plans.

Mixed feelings about this visit : it's not cheap at all for what it is and there is no option for a non-drinker rebate/price. That's a pity actually --> someone has to drive ! Or simply some adults...

Unless you reserve a guided tour in advance, you probably will be stuck doing the self-guided tour with the downloaded application. Once downloaded it’s fairly easy to use. Unlike others here, I found the art exhibit and lights distracting. I was more interested in the technical and historical details which I found out later were provided in the available literature. In the end, the Champagne was excellent and really what I came here for. Likely others won’t mind the art or lights.

We came to Pommery because I had seen many videos about their beautiful caves, but to be honest I was a bit disappointed in the overall experience. We chose the self-guided tour, but there is not much explanation on the house, champagne process or anything. You just get to see a lot of the art pieces, but nothing related to the champagne itself. You get two glasses with your ticket, but barely no explanation on the champagnes you are tasting.
