Producer Information: Perrier-Jouët

Perrier-Jouët is a historic Champagne house located in Épernay, within France’s prestigious Champagne region. Founded in 1811 by Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Rose-Adélaïde Jouët, the maison quickly established itself as a pioneer in the production of fine sparkling wines. The estate is particularly noted for its commitment to quality, using grapes sourced primarily from Grand Cru vineyards and employing traditional methods such as hand riddling and extended lees aging to enhance complexity and finesse.

Beyond their signature Champagnes, Perrier-Jouët offers a diverse portfolio that highlights the unique attributes of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes. Their range includes vintage cuvées, prestige bottlings like Belle Epoque with its iconic anemone motif designed by Emile Gallé, as well as limited-edition releases that showcase innovative blending techniques. While their primary focus remains on Champagne production rather than spirits or other alcoholic beverages, Perrier-Jouët’s collaborations with artists and designers have positioned them at the intersection of luxury wine culture and contemporary art.
