Founded in 1811 by Nicolas Perrier and AdA¨le JouA«t. The foundation of the estate, located in Apernay, has always been chardonnay. The maison owns 65 hectares of vineyards, 99.2% of which is Grand Cru, including sites in the CA´te des Blancs - Cramant and Avize. This cuvA©e is inspired by the historic Blason de France (1955-1990), Perrier-JouA«t's first prestige bottling, in partnership with Relais & Chateau, offered only in the finest restaurants worldwide. The bottle's slender neck and slight taper are modeled after this original cuvA©e.
