From the start, the floral theme has been part of the Maison\u2019s essence, and this is illustrated by its renowned grape variety: the Chardonnay. Those are the basics of Perrier-Jou\u00ebt style.&nbsp;<br>However, you are missing an essential piece of information: the Perrier family is fond of art, specially the Art Nouveau movement. Because of their passion, the Maison approached Emile Gall\u00e9. The artist, who was also an enthusiastic botanist, developed a friendship with Perrier and would often visit the family in \u00c9pernay. He was the one who drew the famous anemones arabesque that decorated the bottles of the cuvee Belle \u00c9poque, which became a part of its visual identity and reputation.<br>From then, a century later, the atmosphere has always been the same inside this house nicknamed \u201cBelle \u00c9poque\u201d, on the 11 avenue de Champagne, in \u00c9pernay. There, you will find furniture decorated by Emile Gall\u00e9, sculptures by Rodin, leather panels inside the tasting room, and a beautiful garden.

And they would be right. But it\u2019s not only that. As we said, this is also a sensory experience; every dish and every wine provides its own universe and will immerse you in a tasting adventure. How does the winery do that? You will be given three stones and a pipette, with the pipette you will soak the stones with blue flower, jasmine or violet water. You will see how the limestone soak the water and brings a different texture to the champagne, which makes the smell stand out. I promise you, when you taste your champagne again, you will discover a whole new sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/valentin1.jpg\" alt=\"La Banquet de la Nature par Perrier-Jou\u00ebt\" class=\"wp-image-10000019196\" \/><figcaption><strong>A few drops are enough to feel the different aromatic smells on the limestone \u2013&nbsp;&nbsp;\u00a9Perrier-Jou\u00ebt.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You will discover a ballet of plates, in perfect orchestration, on point and with precise savours.

Walk the precious avenue de Champagne until you get to the Maison Belle-\u00c9poque and push the doors. It will be like traveling back in time. You will be given a glass of champagne and you will be able to choose in which glass you want to drink from\u2026 they are all old relics from the 1900s, 1910s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After strolling through the corridors hearing the sounds of the parquet, you will be invited to sit at the table, where the flowers are omnipresent, the tableware is vintage, and every detail has been taken care of. As the sun goes down, you will find yourself among Emile Gall\u00e9, Joseph Perrier, and you will travel through the decades, hooked on the bubbles, touching the effervescence of time.
