Since 1811, Maison Perrier-Jouët has upheld an unmistakable style — floral, complex, and rooted in an exceptional vineyard heritage, almost entirely located in Grand Cru terroirs and driven by Chardonnay.

The crown jewel of the range, Belle Epoque is one of Champagne’s most iconic cuvées. First released as a white in 1969 (from the 1964 vintage), it’s instantly recognisable by its elegantly screen-printed bottle, adorned with Japanese anemones — a design created in 1902 by Art Nouveau master Emile Gallé, exclusively for Perrier-Jouët.
