NY OFF-PREMISE SALES REPRESENTATIVE
Vranken Pommery Monopole is a family-owned, international company dedicated to developing the great wines produced by its Houses, Domains and Châteaux.
Structured around prestigious and renowned brands, whose heritage, quality and style it guards, the group is conquering new horizons, with establishments in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. Vranken-Pommery Monopole is also a forerunner, with the creation of vineyards in the United Kingdom, Australia and California.
Today, the Group is the second largest producer of Champagne, a leading producer of rosé wines, and operates one of the largest vineyards in Europe. Its cuvées regularly win awards among the world's finest wines. The Group’s influence is such that it is present in more than 100 countries thanks to its 10 subsidiaries. In 2021, the Company took a further step in its commitment to sustainable development by becoming a “Société à Mission” and adopting a Raison d'Être. This is a public statement of a company's raison d'être, as well as one or more social and environmental objectives it has set itself to pursue in the course of its business. Vranken-Pommery Monopole’s commitment is now to promote the highest quality Champagnes and wines produced throughout the world, while mobilizing the ecosystem in which the company operates (its Group, employees, partners, customers, shareholders), for the protection of the environment and biodiversity, sustainable development, and the preservation of the identity of terroirs and the specificity and quality of their products.
