Perrier-Jouët

It belongs to the elite of the Champagne Maisons. Perrier-Jouët, founded in 1811, is one of the most iconic houses in the region. The peculiarity of the Maison concerns the figure of the Chef de Cave who, in more than two hundred years of history, has seen "only" eight successive Chefs. Hervé Deschamps, for example, who has been at the helm of the winery since 1993, underwent a 10-year apprenticeship alongside his predecessor before becoming "tenured". In October 2020, after almost 30 vintages, Deschamps finally handed over to Séverine Frerson, the first woman to hold this position in the history of the Maison. In order to carry out this difficult task in the best possible way, the Chef de Cave must not only be a great technician but must also have a perfect knowledge of all the crus, grapes and blends in order to be able to create, year after year, wines with a clearly recognisable style.
