🍾 Perrier-Jouët
Also known as: Champagne Perrier-Jouët, Perrier-Jouet
A Champagne house in Épernay, dating from 1811; part of the Pernod Ricard group since 2005, known for its Belle Epoque cuvée.
Perrier-Jouët is a Champagne house in Épernay, in the Marne department. Wikidata dates it to 1811 and places it in Épernay; the Pernod Ricard group, to which the house has belonged since 2005, also describes it as making champagne since 1811 and calls it one of France’s historic houses.
According to the group, the best-known wine is Belle Epoque, presented in an Art Nouveau-style bottle. The range also includes Grand Brut and Blanc de Blancs.
Champagne is a wine with a protected designation of origin (PDO). The bubbles come only from a second fermentation in the bottle, the wine is aged for at least 15 months before sale (36 for vintage), and all production takes place only within the delimited area. Perrier-Jouët is a brand; Champagne is the name of a place.
Why it matters to you. Blanc de blancs on the label means a wine made only from white grapes, and brut is a sugar category set by the rules; “Belle Epoque” or “Grand Brut” are the house’s own names. The WHO reminds: there is no safe level of alcohol.
