Nathalie Vranken
CEO, Vranken-Pommery Monopole
Nathalie Vranken embodies the perfect marriage between elegance and boldness, tradition and modernity. After studying at the prestigious Sorbonne University, where she developed a passion for History, she ventured into entrepreneurship by founding her own communication consulting agency in 1987. As a visionary, she brought together the most prestigious luxury houses from Avenue Montaigne and Rue François 1er in the heart of Paris under a single banner. This bold project revived the Comité Montaigne, an institution she has co-directed ever since. Among her most iconic creations is “Les Vendanges Montaigne,” an event celebrating luxury and the French art of living, recognized and admired worldwide.
In parallel to her success in the Parisian luxury world, Nathalie Vranken is writing another chapter of her story, this time in the Champagne vineyards. Together with her husband, Paul-François Vranken, she has been building the Vranken-Pommery Monopole group for over 30 years. This prestigious group includes legendary brands such as Pommery, Vranken, Heidsieck & Co Monopole, as well as the majestic wine estates Château La Gordonne and Domaine Royal de Jarras.
Through her creative drive, the world of champagne has gained a new artistic dimension thanks to the “EXPERIENCE POMMERY,” a series of exhibitions that have, for two decades, transformed Pommery’s historic cellars into a globally acclaimed contemporary art gallery. Each year, the greatest names in the art world exhibit their works, making the estate a unique crossroads between champagne and art.
A perfectionist at heart, Nathalie Vranken has also distinguished herself as a restorer of heritage. Together with Paul-François Vranken, she has restored the splendor of the sumptuous Villa Demoiselle. They led this extensive renovation project, where Paul-François Vranken’s vision for heritage, combined with Nathalie Vranken’s attention to detail, allowed this Art Nouveau masterpiece to regain its original brilliance after five years of meticulous work. Open to the public since 2008, the Villa is today a symbol of timeless refinement.
