In 1811, Pierre-Nicolas Perrier, a cork manufacturer in his own state married Adèle Jouët in Epernay. Their union sealed the birth of the Perrier-Jouët trading house. In 1854, Perrier-Jouët produced the first brut champagne in history (under the impetus of his son Charles), but it was also the first house to mention the vintage and the year of harvest on the label. Thanks to its fame, Perrier-Jouët became the official supplier of Queen Victoria but also of the Court of Napoleon III and the royal families of Sweden and Belgium. Following the example of the master craftsmen who pass on their secrets of manufacture to each other, seven cellar masters have succeeded one another and have given priority to quality over quantity in order to succeed in preserving the treasures of the House, such as the 1825 cuvée, which is the oldest known vintage in Champagne.
