The first day of spring saw Champagne House Perrier-Jouët celebrate its bicentenary in Paris with the unveiling of Bi-Centenaire—the very first Living Legacy champagne designed to be passed on to future generations. A Champagne designed to be handed down from generation to generation.

An exclusive guest list gathered for the unveiling of a new kind of Champagne experience by the house, renowned globally for its Belle Époque Cuvée. Guests were also treated to the unveiling of a new work of art commissioned from American artist Daniel Arsham, designed to embody the spirit of Bi-Centenaire—A true invitation to celebrate life.

A sumptuous champagne-paired celebratory dinner followed, orchestrated by notorious French Chefs Jean-Louis Nomicos** and his mentor Alain Ducasse, themselves gastronomic symbols of legacy, who reinterpreted superbly the 1911 Perrier-Jouët Centenary menu paired with Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Cuvées, including the exceptional Cuvée Belle Epoque 1998 in magnum.

Speaking on the night, Chairman & CEO of Martell Mumm Perrier-Jouët Lionel Breton: ““We are very proud celebrate tonight the Bicentenary of Perrier-Jouët with this unique champagne experience as a real tribute to the house’s remarkable craftsmanship and passion for passing on a sense of French art de vivre to future generations”.

Perrier-Jouët Bi-Centenaire is available in very limited quantities (100 pieces only) at the Champagne House’s Boutique in Epernay and by appointment only including a privileged hospitality experience. It is also available through the exclusive Pernod Ricard network for an average RSP of 10 000 euros.
