Maison Perrier-Jouët celebrated the reopening of its historic family home, the Maison Belle Epoque in Epernay.
After painstaking two-year renovation, the elegant mansion opened its doors to 150 guests ' friends of the House, international media, and celebrities including supermodel Karolina Kurkova, who feels a special affinity with the refined art de vivre of Maison Perrier-Jouët.
Home to successive generations of the founding family, the Maison Belle Epoque is today the living symbol, not only of Maison Perrier-Jouët's 200-year heritage, but also of its enduring philosophy and unique vision of champagne. A celebration of savoir-faire and savoir-vivre, it will receive privileged guests of the House in exceptional surroundings, offering them an intimate insight into its traditions, craftsmanship, and twin inspirations of art and nature.
On their arrival in Epernay, guests were welcomed into the Maison Belle Epoque and were able to admire its beautifully redecorated rooms, which house the largest private collection of French Art Nouveau in Europe, while a pianist performed an original medley of modern and period tunes. Moving on into the garden, they discovered a bespoke marquee, in the style of a turn-of-the-century glass pavilion, offering refined cuisine, vibrant entertainment and, of course, a selection of Perrier-Jouët champagnes.
