Perrier-Jouët's Cellar Master Reflects on a Lifetime of Champagne
"For the past 36 years, Hervé Deschamps has been the cellar master of Perrier-Jouët—and it's a job of significant responsibility. Over eighty percent of all Champagne is non-vintage (NV), meaning that various vintages are blended together to create a distinctive, consistent house style. Perrier-Jouët has been around for over 200 years and in that time there have only been seven cellar masters. Deschamps has spent literally his entire career maintaining its styles and guarding its traditions." - Jacob Dean
