Experience Pommery #

The Collections

When Madame Pommery took over the Maison after the death of her husband in 1858, she considerably developed the champagne Maison outside France, more particularly in the United Kingdom. Madame Pommery had understood as nobody else that the creative spirit in making champagne wine finds its corollary in the approach of the artists she was close to.

This is why she invited numerous artists to work at the Domaine like Gustave Navlet or Emile Gallé and collected works of art she offered to the Museum of Fine Arts in Reims, and which constitute together with those of Henry Vasnier, the core of the museum’s collection. The quintessence of the Pommery collection was the purchasing at an auction of the “The Gleaners” by J.F. Millet in 1888, which is today a master work at the Musée d’Orsay.

By referring both to the art of making champagne and pictorial masterworks, the Vranken-Pommery Art Collection, initiated in 2003, is still driven by the spirit of Madame Pommery.

Experience #17 - 2023-2024 FOREVER

For the past 20 years, the Domaine has been a vibrant venue for annual exhibitions of contemporary art. The EXPERIENCE POMMERY are innovative exhibitions with essentially original works created by artists from all over the world and of all generations (more than 300 artists have exhibited) in the Gallo-Roman cellars of the Domaine, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015.

Between heritage culture and innovation, this exceptional place continues its transformation to welcome each year an audience of connoisseurs, eager for immersive and varied experiences.
This year will mark the launch of not one but three exhibitions! Next to the Pommery Experience, in the cellars, a new immersive exhibition will open, dedicated to the creation of the first brut champagne in history, born from the creative genius of Madame Pommery in 1874 and remaining the signature of the Maison. The third exhibition will be located at the Villa Demoiselle.
It will feature works from the Reims Museum of Fine Arts (of which Madame Pommery was one of the largest donors) focusing on the representation of the “new” woman of the Belle Epoque with contemporary women artists in the fields of painting, ceramics...

FOREVER... because the Domaine Vranken-Pommery is a unique heritage in the world, a present in effervescence and a future under permanent construction!
