At the crossroads of Maison Perrier-<br />
Jouët’s 200-year-old heritage and the<br />
legend that is champagne, a party like no<br />
other celebrated their unique vision and history.<br />
That the joyous libation has been born in fertile<br />
soil, makes this legend sweeter still - the grape<br />
a metaphor for Epernay’s ability to foster the<br />
world’s joy and celebration.<br />
On an enchanted evening in early July,<br />
set among the region’s beautiful rolling<br />
vineyards and gentle hillsides, Maison Belle<br />
Epoque in Epernay reopened after a two-year<br />
renovation. Perrier-Jouët champagnes welcomed<br />
supermodels and celebrities as hosts greeted<br />
them in costumes evoking the Belle Epoque.<br />
Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs and legendary<br />
Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque cuvées were paired<br />
with innovative delicacies by Michelin-starred<br />
chef Akrame, including lobster hotdogs and<br />
roasted pineapple. The night celebrated art de<br />
vivre and focused on the magical intersection<br />
between art and nature, the vibrant present and<br />
thrill of a landmark past culminating in the<br />
exquisitely renovated Maison Belle Epoque<br />
against the backdrop of the world’s largest<br />
private collection of French Art Nouveau.<br />
