Ribbentrop's champagne

I was wondering which brand of champagne was produced by Ribbentrop wife's family, and if it still exists nowadays.

Thanks,

Mauro

Ribbetrop was not a producer but seller of different brands of alcohol (not only champagne). Among them:

Champagne Pommery (still existing)
Cognac Meukoff
Whisky Johnny Waljer (sic !)

The family of his wife Annelies born Henkell were producers of dry white wines (sekt). The brand Henkell still exist in Germany.

I hope it's help.
