Region: Champagne, France

Composition: 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay

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 home of knowledge and experience. Six generations of the same family have carried out his signature, 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. Cuvée Joséphine celebrates the moving story of Joseph Perrier, a father who, on the occasion of his daughter Josephine’s wedding, offered her the best Champagne he could make. For that occasion, he designed a beautiful bottle, hand-painted and decorated with fine gold. The cuvée, named after Joséphine and celebrating our history, has only been produced in the years 1982, 1985, 1989, 1990, 1995, 1998, 2002, 2004, and 2008.

Elaboration: Jean-Claude Fourmon, with a vision deeply rooted in family history and heritage, has imagined an exceptional cuvée from the 2015 vintage. He has chosen to age it for 8 years, intending to pass it on to his son on the occasion of the Joseph Perrier bicentenary in 2025. This symbolic gesture embodies the transmission of family values and know-how, while celebrating two centuries of excellence and passion for champagne.

Cuvée 200 celebrates two centuries of history, passion, and expertise at the heart of Joseph Perrier.
