Madame Pommery: Creator of Brut Champagne (Champagne Widows Novels)

Jeanne Alexandrine Pommery’s future could have easily drowned in grief. Instead, the gifted widow harboured the radical dream of creating a champagne unlike any other. Although her vision clashed with the rigid traditions and closely guarded secrets of established champagne houses, it didn’t stop her excavating a hidden cave labyrinth beneath the bustling streets of Reims. In the depths of this dark subterranean world, Madame Pommery nurtured her groundbreaking champagne, shielding it from the plundering hands of Prussian and German occupiers. The war itself cast a long, dangerous shadow. With her son and crew torn away and Prussian troops billeted in her home, Madame Pommery remained defiant. Her secret caves were a refuge for her revolutionary bubbles and resistance fighters. Out of these trials and tribulations, she produced a champagne revered for a dry, crisp, taste that redefined luxury. Madame Pommery’s astonishing legacy lives on in every sip of Brut champagne.
