Le Domaine Pommery is one of the most noted houses, producing a truly excellent Champagne that is aged and stored in 18kms of chalk caves beneath the city. La veuve Louise Pommery is also the first Champagne maker to develop a brut Champagne with no added sugar for her most loyal English customers and, thus, changed the face of Champagne culture forever. She is also reputed to be the first to utilize the naturally temperature-controlled chalk-pits, or crayères, to store Champagne.
