Savoir’ Faire &<br />

Savoir’ Vivre<br />

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 />
