CHANGING OF THE GUARD

With just 7 cellar masters in over 200 years, Perrier-Jouët has recently enjoyed an extraordinary moment in its history when Cellar Master Hervé Deschamps handed over his position to Séverine Frerson, his successor and the first woman to hold this position. Along with the historic cellar books containing the notes and observations of all his predecessors, and the key to the legendary Eden cellar, where the most precious vintages are kept, Hervé Deschamps has handed over to his successor the responsibility for perpetuating the unique intricate floral style of Maison Perrier-Jouët - and for taking it forward into the future. Founded in 1811 in Epernay, Maison Perrier-Jouët is one of France’s most historic champagne houses, but also one of its most distinctive, renowned for its floral and intricate champagne which reveal the true essence of the Chardonnay grape and an enduring tradition of savoir-faire.
