CELLAR
Nature as a source of inspiration
Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Rose-Adélaïde Jouët shared a love of nature and the arts. She was a cultured young woman from a Norman merchant family; he was a masterful winemaker and botanist. A year after their marriage, in 1811, they founded the Maison Perrier-Jouët: born from their desire to create a different kind of Champagne house.
The founders' passion for art, nature, and champagne has been passed down from generation to generation. Their son, Charles Perrier, a botanist like his father, took over the house in 1848. The family philosophy of creative freedom and unconventional observation of nature is intrinsic to the history of champagne. These values continue to shape the Maison Perrier-Jouët today.
A unique legacy
Art Nouveau, inspired by the graceful and sinuous forms of nature, flourished throughout Europe in the late 19th century. The movement's exuberance and creative freedom paved the way for the avant-garde art of the 20th century. The ethos of Art Nouveau was to reinvent nature to re-enchant everyday life.
Maison Perrier-Jouët's affinity with the Art Nouveau movement is best expressed by the emblematic anemone motif illustrated for the Maison in 1902 by Emile Gallé. Today, the Maison's enduring connection with art and nature translates into an extravagant universe that reinvents luxury as a meaningful experience through artistic collaborations.
