MARQUIS DE POMEREUIL!
History of champagne and its producers
In 1922, having difficulties to sell their wines, 14 vine growers from Les Riceys come together and create the “Cave Cooperative des Riceys”, which makes it one of the oldest in Champagne. At that time white wines were produced for champagne trade, as well as red wines and the famous Rosé des Riceys.
In 1927, the first champagnes of the “Cave Coopérative des Riceys” were produced and sold mainly on the local market, in Paris, Belgium and Northern France.
In 1980, together with the expansion of the vineyard comes a more favorable era. The “Marquis de Pomereuil” brand is created, in reference to the lord of the Riceys (18th century).
Since then, the Cave Coopérative des Riceys has never stopped developing over the years. Today, 55 winemakers conduct their vineyards with mastery and professionalism. 80,000 Marquis de Pomereuil flasks are produced each year!

Les Riceys
Located in the south of Champagne region, with 866 hectares of classified wine-growing, this is the largest terroir of Champagne. Les Riceys is the only village that has 3 AOC (PDO). It reveals a peculiar and imposing architectural heritage: classified churches, castles, and an 18th century hall.
Considered as a real cultural wealth of the Riceys, the “Cadoles” – huts made of dry stones from the vineyards – were built at the beginning of the 19th century so that the vine growers could find warmth in winter, coolness in summer and shelter from bad weather.
