Vranken-Pommery Monopole: Licensing of the Pompadour Brand to Vranken-Pommery Monopole

Reims, November 21, 2025

On October 1, Vranken-Pommery Monopole decided to accept the offer from the Lanson-BCC Group, which was more attractive than that of the Vranken Company, for the sale of the Heidsieck & Co Monopole brand.

In order to provide Vranken-Pommery Monopole with additional resources, strengthen its commercial development in the premium segment, and provide it with a cost-sharing arrangement, Compagnie Vranken has decided to license the Pompadour brand to it, with marketing set to begin in late 2025. Vranken-Pommery Monopole will retain the related inventories.

Maison Pompadour is the first new Champagne House of the 21st century. Backed by its unique collection of Reserve Vintages from the Clos Pompadour vineyards, Champagne Pompadour stands out for its uniqueness and embodies a resolutely modern vision of Champagne for enthusiasts around the world.
