Christel de Lassus présente « Alexandrine Pommery : l’audace de créer »

The story of an exceptional woman in the nineteenth century, unique in her audacity and vision.

Alexandrine Pommery opened up to the world in England, where she discovered its very particular art of living, and where she was already attentive to wine and winemaking. But it was in France, in Reims, that she realized her dream of becoming a winemaker, encouraging her husband to invest in wine, before developing the business alone upon his death.

Christel de Lassus is a luxury specialist. She has also taken oenology courses, and the world of wine is familiar to her. Her book Joséphine d’Yquem : à l’origine d’un vin de légende (Flammarion, 2023) received the Prix Montesquieu 2024.
