Maison Joseph Perrier is a small family company founded in 1825 by Joseph Perrier. They can enjoy a beautiful location for storing bottles: the chalk quarries (crayères) dating back to Roman times.
They own 21 hectares of vineyards, conveniently located on a hillside on the edge of the Marne, and planted with the three grape varieties Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, essential to the development of a classic champagne.
The blend is 100% Chardonnay from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards: Chouilly, Avize, Cumières Blanc, Le Mesnil sur Oger.
Winemaking: Fermented parcel by parcel in stainless vat before ageing in bottle for at least 6 years.
The “Cuvée Royale” title is earned by the fact that the house was supplier of the Crown of England for Queen Victoria and King Eduard VII.
