History: The house was founded in 1825 by father and son François-Alexandre and Joseph Perrier. Joseph turned the establishment on the “avenue de Paris” into a house of knowledge and experience. His signature has been carried out by six generations of the same family, each one marking the history and destiny of the House in a different way. Currently run by Jean Claude Fourmon and his son, Benjamin, this house is the only Champagne maker in Châlons-en-Champagne today. Our Champagne has been a part of history many times and was chosen for the royal courts of Queen Victoria and Edward VII. In 2019, winemaker Natalie Laplaige received the “Les Thophees Champenoise Winemaker of the Year” award.

Tasting Notes:

The champagne is a pale shiny yellow, tinted with delicate shades of green. This cuvee shows the influence of the house style of Joseph Perrier on the Chardonnay in champagne, concentrating on the fresh elegant and lively elements yet with richness. The first aroma is floral, followed by combined notes of apricot and mirabelle plum. There is a lively attacking style, yet it is ample and fresh, with citrus overtones. There are sweet spicy flavors of cinnamon and vanilla with gourmet notes of biscuit, over a delicate lemony finish.
