Perrier-Jouët

Perrier-Jouët advertisement from 1923
Perrier-Jouët is a Champagne producer based in the Épernay region of Champagne. The house was founded in 1811 by Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Rose Adélaide Jouët, and produces both vintage and non-vintage cuvee, approximately 3,000,000 bottles annually, with its prestige label named Belle Epoque.[1]
Perrier-Jouët owns 266 acres of vineyards in the Champagne region.[2] Today the house is under the Pernod Ricard umbrella of brands.[3] Perrier-Jouët owns over 160 acres of vineyards, with more than half in the Grand Crus of Cramant and Avize.[4]
The correct pronunciation of the label is [pɛʁje ʒuɛt]: the two dots on the e of Jouet mean that the next letter t should be pronounced (but softly, like wet).[5][6]

History
This origin story of those house dates to 1810, when the Épernay-based cork supplier Pierre Nicolas Perrier married Rose Adélaide Jouët, the daughter of a Calvados producer.[7] Perrier’s family owned vineyards in Dizy, Chouilly, Aӱ.[8] Having been married just one year, the newlyweds begin producing champagne under the name Perrier-Jouët.[9] Adèle focused on vineyards and winemaking; Pierre Nicolas focused on sales and marketing.[10] Shipments to Great Britain began in 1815[11] and to the United States in 1837.
One of the three bottles of the world's oldest champagne, a Perrier-Jouët (vintage 1825) was opened and tasted in 2009.[12][13]
