Champagne Perrier-Jouët

The prestigious Maison Perrier-Jouët was founded in Épernay, following the marriage of Pierre Nicolas Perrier to Rose Adélaïde Jouët. By celebrating its bicentenary in 2011, it marked two centuries of excellence and innovation in the world of champagne. However, to truly understand the prestige of this brand, we must go back to 2009, more precisely to March 5. This is the date on which a dozen oenological experts gathered in Épernay for an exceptional vertical tasting of 20 vintages. It was on the occasion of the release of the 2002 Belle Époque cuvée. Going back to the oldest bottle dating from 1825, the year of the last coronation of a king in Reims, Charles X, this tasting perfectly illustrates the history and refinement of Perrier-Jouët , which is undeniably a jewel of Champagne heritage. Perrier-Jouët champagnes have had the honour of being on the tables of illustrious figures such as Queen Victoria and Emperor Napoleon III. It is a brand whose name is inextricably linked to the splendour of the Belle Époque and the innovative artistic movement of Art Nouveau. A pivotal moment in its history was the appearance of the Japanese anemone, designed by the famous master glassmaker Émile Gallée, founder of the École de Nancy. Since then, this delicate flower has become the emblematic symbol of the house. It elegantly adorns the prestigious Belle Époque cuvée, the first edition of which was released in 1964. This cuvée remains to this day one of the most exquisite creations of the Champagne region in the 20th century.
