It's early history is synonymous with Jeanne-Alexandrine Louise Pommery (commonly refered to as Louise Pommery), who guided the house through its early beginnings to substantial growth in the mid 19th Century. Although the Champagne house was nominally founded in 1856 by Alexandre Louis Pommery and Narcisse Greno, the outlines of the operation are sketched in 1836 when Greno takes control of a Champagne négociant business titled Dubois-Gosset (or Gossart, according to some sources), which subsequently becomes Dubois \u0026amp; Greno. Following the death of Dubois in 1839, Greno finds another partner and the firm's name is changed again, this time to Wibert \u0026amp; Greno. Wilbert pulls out of the business 18 years later and Greno is joined by wool merchant, Alexandre Pommery. On the death of her husband two years later in 1858, Louise Pommery takes her husband's place and shepherds the company through a period of growth and prosperity. Greno's role, if any, in the early stages is unknown, although it is clear Pommery is guiding light of the business and over the next few decades becomes one of the region's largest brands. \"[She] possessed, to the highest degree, a taste for risk and for audacious problem-solving,\" her grandson, Melchior de Polignac, said of her. In 1866, the company name is changed to Veuve Pommery \u0026amp; Fils (Widow Pommery \u0026amp; Son), to mark Pommery's control and her son's entrance into the business. Nonetheless, the business maintains the \"Pommery \u0026amp; Greno\" title well into the 20th Century. In 1868, Pommery acquires a 50-hectare (120 acre) domain in Reims, dotted by ancient Roman chalk-pits and mines. Work begins to connect the underground galleries into a vast cellar complex, 18km (11 miles) long, with space for aging and storing more than 20 million bottles of Champagne. The house also claims to be the creators of the first Brut champagne – the 1874 vintage of Pommery Nature. Until then, Champagne was higher in sugar and alcohol to offset high acidities, but Pommery changed its process to appeal to English tastes, which ran to drier wines. Madame Pommery died in Chigny (later named Chigny-les-Roses, after the widow's fondness for the flowers), just south of Reims, in 1890. She was reportedly the first French woman to be given a state funeral.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-08-01T16:04:17-04:00","created_at":"2023-07-28T20:01:30-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","Other_Wine","Producer_Pommery","Region_Champagne","RK2607","Source_WineOnlineDelivery0723","Type_Sparkling Wine","Varietal_Champagne Blend"],"price":354500,"price_min":354500,"price_max":354500,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43103668043914,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2002 | Pommery | Cuvee Louise Brut Millesime","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":354500,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/20_61a6fb7b-6e43-446d-af7d-6c74c56fb872.jpg?v=1690589022"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/20_61a6fb7b-6e43-446d-af7d-6c74c56fb872.jpg?v=1690589022","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2002 | Pommery | Cuvee Louise Brut Millesime at CaskCartel.com","id":24855051829386,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.33,"height":491,"width":162,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/20_61a6fb7b-6e43-446d-af7d-6c74c56fb872.jpg?v=1690589022"},"aspect_ratio":0.33,"height":491,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/20_61a6fb7b-6e43-446d-af7d-6c74c56fb872.jpg?v=1690589022","width":162}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eSparkling Wine: 2002 | Pommery | Cuvee Louise Brut Millesime\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaut and mineral, exhibiting good complexity, sweet yellow fruit, supported by crisp acidity,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Pommery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2002\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Champagne Blend\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e France, Champagne\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight yellow-green, golden glints, fine pearly mousse.
