Perrier-Jouët has been synonymous with refinement and innovation since its founding in 1811 by Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Adèle Jouët. The house is distinguished by its unique, floral style, embodied in every bottle it produces.
What makes Perrier-Jouët famous is undoubtedly its inimitable style. Made primarily from Chardonnay grapes, the house's champagnes are distinguished by their floral aromas, freshness, and elegance. Each cuvée is a work of art, designed to offer a unique sensory experience. The Perrier-Jouët style is characterized by floral delicacy and subtle complexity, reflecting expertise passed down from cellar master to cellar master.
The creation of a Perrier-Jouët cuvée begins in the vineyard, which is 99.2% classified on the cru scale. The grapes are harvested by hand and gently pressed to preserve their qualities. The first fermentation transforms the grape juice into clear wine. Séverine Frerson, Cellar Master, then steps in to blend the wines. Drawing on her in-depth knowledge of the terroirs, she selects the crus that will best express the style of each cuvée.
Since 2020, Séverine Frerson has been in charge of winemaking at Perrier-Jouët. The first woman to hold this position in the history of the house, she continues the tradition while bringing a touch of modernity. Her mission: to preserve the identity of each cuvée while exploring new expressions of the Champagne terroir.
The Perrier-Jouët range offers champagnes for all occasions. Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut, for example, is affordable while offering exceptional quality. For more prestigious occasions, the Belle Époque cuvée stands out for its elegance and complexity, justifying its higher price. Whether you are looking for a champagne for an aperitif or a celebration, Perrier-Jouët offers options to suit all budgets.
In 1846, Perrier-Jouët revolutionized the world of champagne by creating the first brut champagne cuvée, responding to the English preference for drier champagnes. This innovation not only defined the house's style but also marked the history of champagne.
Launched in 2017, the Blanc de Blancs cuvée showcases Chardonnay in its purest form. The vineyards of the Côte des Blancs produce grapes with distinctive floral and mineral nuances. This cuvée embodies the essence of the house's expertise and is ideal for lovers of refined and fresh champagnes.
The Belle Époque cuvée, introduced in 1964, is renowned for its iconic bottle adorned with Japanese anemones. This vintage champagne, produced only in the best years, offers complexity and elegance that make it the perfect choice for special occasions.
