Pommery. Ruinart. Veuve Clicquot. Mumm. Taittinger. These are just a few of the companies that produce Champagne wines in the city of Reims. Visiting them and especially their caves is one good reason to go spend a few days in Reims. Here are some photos I took at the Pommery winery (called Vranken-Pommery now) in the year 2000. Pommery was founded in the 19th century and produces between five and six million bottles of champagne annually.
I did a tour of a winery in Reims, I think. I just remember going on a day trip with the alley else, I think. We drove by the Cathedral, but didn’t even go in, which is a shame.

I don’t remember exactly what I did, but I think I clicked several times on the box and it came back. You can try that to see what happens and it’s free!
DeleteSo, between blogger’s new comment interface, and being on my iPad, I can’t seem to comment as a signed-in person….Judy. We’ll see what happens with this one.
ReplyDeleteFascinating pictures. I'd never head of Pommery, or Ruinart for that matter.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting looking building. I wonder how much champagne is exported versus sold domestically.
