CHAMPAGNE PERRIER-JOUËT

PERRIER-JOUET: TRADITION AND PROGRESS

The history of the house goes back to 1810. Pierre Nicolas Perrier, cork producer in Épernay, married to Rose Adélaide Jouet, daughter of a calvados producer. Only one year after their marriage, they founded Perrier-Jouet champagne together. While Adèle concentrated on the vineyard and winemaking, Pierre Nicolas devoted himself to sales and marketing. In 1815, followed expeditions to Great Britain and in 1837 to the United States. Slowly but surely, Perrier-Jouet became famous.

At that time, people drank a lot of champagne called "à la russe". A style that responded to the taste of the time thanks to its high sugar content. But with Perrier-Jouet, it appeared very early on that dry champagne not only allowed a better quality, but was also much more digestible.

In 1854, Perrier Jouet produced the first brut champagne in history. The first stone of the famous Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut is laid. From 1870, the new dry style was introduced for all Perrier champagnes, and it did not take long for the whole competition to follow.

Perrier-Jouet was also the first champagne house to name the vintage and the cru on the label. This is still the norm today. It soon becomes clear that Perrier-Jouet was synonymous with quality and tradition, as well as anticipation and refinement.

THE CELLAR MASTERS OF PERRIER-JOUET

The secrets of the Perrier-Jouet house are transmitted from cellar master to cellar master. In two centuries, Perrier-Jouet has employed only 7 cellar masters.

In 1993, Hervé Deschamps was appointed 7th cellarman of the Perrier Jouet house. He had previously spent 10 years learning from his predecessor, in order to master the subtleties of the Perrier-Jouet signature with its unique floral note. As the guardian of this knowledge, he now preserves and cultivates this precious heritage. In the vat, piece by piece, the cellar master tastes and tastes again and again until the Cuvée Perrier Jouet shines with all the elegance and typical finesse of the house. They are the creators of Perrier-Jouet Belle Epoque and Grand Brut.
