Since she joined Perrier-Jouët back in October 2018, Séverine Frerson, now head winemaker in her own right, has been studying the DNA of the house. Particularly the style as represented by the wine – Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque – that graces the Emile Gallé, white anemone-clad bottle, surely Champagne’s most elegant looking prestige cuvée.
The wine that for her: ‘represents the purest expression of Perrier-Jouët style, built around three pillars: florality, Chardonnay and nature’.
