Perrier-Jouët Champagne: Art Nouveau and Exceptional Heritage

Founded in Épernay following the union of Pierre Nicolas Perrier and Rose Adélaïde Jouët, the Maison Perrier-Jouët has embodied a subtle alliance between elegance and innovation for two centuries. A symbol of its refinement, the Belle Époque cuvée, created in 1964, has become an absolute reference, carried by the iconic Japanese anemone designed under the influence of Art Nouveau and signing a unique visual and taste identity. The history of the house is revealed through highlights, such as the exceptional vertical tasting of the Belle Époque 2002 in 2009, where more than two centuries of vintages were celebrated. Perrier-Jouët has seduced illustrious figures, from Queen Victoria to Napoleon III, and makes its name resonate with the delicacy and sophistication of the Belle Époque. The vineyard, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle on the Côte des Blancs, is planted on exceptional terroirs with a 99.2% cru classification. Chardonnay plays a central role, bringing freshness, elegance, and floral depth, while Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier structure the blends and complement the fruitiness. This varietal architecture gives rise to champagnes of remarkable finesse. Perrier-Jouët cultivates its vines according to regenerative viticulture principles: plant cover, encouraged biodiversity with beehives, low walls, and trees, and revitalized soil to promote healthy growth. These practices transform the plots into living ecosystems, not just cultivated land, but reinforcing the pure and sustainable expression of the terroir in each bottle.
