Perrier-Jouët Strana 1 z 1

Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Rose-Adélaïde Jouët shared a love for nature and art. She was a cultured young woman from a family of Norman merchants, he was a master winemaker and botanist. A year after their wedding, in 1811, they founded the company Maison Perrier-Jouët: born from their desire to create a different champagne house.

The founders' passion for art, nature, and champagne has been passed down from generation to generation. Their son Charles Perrier, a botanist like his father, took over the house in 1848. The family philosophy of creative freedom and unconventional observation of nature is an integral part of the history of champagne. These values continue to shape Maison Perrier-Jouët to this day.

Art Nouveau, inspired by the charming, winding shapes of nature, flourished across Europe in the late 19th century. The fervor and creative freedom of this movement paved the way for avant-garde art of the 20th century. The ethos of Art Nouveau was to rediscover nature to enchant everyday life.

The affinity of Maison Perrier-Jouët with the Art Nouveau movement is best expressed by the symbolic anemone motif illustrated for the house by Emile Gallé in 1902. The enduring bond of the house with art and nature is now reflected in an extravagant world that, through artistic collaboration, redefines luxury as a meaningful experience.

In October 2020, Séverine Frerson became the eighth cellar master - and the first woman in this position - in the history of the house.
