Perrier-Jouët
Perrier-Jouët is a Champagne producer based in the Épernay region of Champagne. The house was founded in 1811 by Pierre-Nicolas-Marie Perrier-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]
One of the three bottles of the world's oldest champagne, a Perrier-Jouët (vintage 1825) was opened and tasted in 2009.[4]
The correct pronunciation of the label is "Perri-ay Jewet": the two dots on the "e" of 'Jouet' mean that the next letter "t" should be pronounced (but softly, like 'wet').[5]
