Since 1811, Maison Perrier-Jouët has upheld a uniquely floral and complex style, thanks to a priceless vineyard heritage almost entirely planted in Grand Cru sites, with a strong emphasis on Chardonnay.

The jewel of their range, the Belle Époque cuvée, is one of Champagne’s true masterpieces. Introduced as a blanc de blancs in 1969—using the 1964 vintage—this Champagne is instantly recognizable by its signature bottle, adorned with a delicate spray of Japanese anemones, a design created for Perrier-Jouët by Art Nouveau master Émile Gallé in 1902.
