Champagne
The origins of Perrier-Jouët lie in a passionate meeting between Pierre Nicolas Perrier, whose family had worked in vineyards since the 18th century, and Adèle Jouët, the daughter of a wine merchant. The couple created the House of Perrier-Jouët and, 3 years later, moved to premises on the avenue de Champagne in Épernay, which has since been nicknamed “the Champs-Élysées of Champagne”. Perrier-Jouët was an instant success and quickly found its way on to royal dining tables. The House became the official supplier to the English court in 1861, and the courts of Sweden and of Léopold 1st, King of Belgium, soon followed suit.

Champagne

Champagne
As a jeweller in his workshop, Cellermaster Herve Deschampes cut each facet of an exceptional 99.2% ranked vinyard. Over thirty crus produce fruit for curvee Belle Epoque.

The elegance and minerality of the chardonnays from Cremant and Avise, compliment the delicate and velvety smooth Pinot Noirs from Mailly, Verzenay and Verzy. The final touch is 5% of grapes from Dizy, which adds roundness and lots of fruit aromas. A delicate aroma of white flowers, ripe white fruit such as peaches and pears, balanced with a remarkably persistent palate which travels from aromatic fullness to subtle elegance.

The famous enamelled bottle was designed by remound Art Nouveau glassmaker Emile Galle’s in 1902 and has adorned every bottle ever since
