"The experience starts in Épernay at Perrier-Jouët, a classic maison dating back to 1811, with whimsical floral decor rivaling this year’s Met Gala red carpet and a general feminine aesthetic that I’d happily adopt as my entire personality." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
"Despite the number of major Champagne houses that lord over the avenue de Champagne in Épernay, none have offered a full fine dining experience until Perrier-Jouët launched Belle Epoque Society in June 2021, the 200-year-old house’s new culinary program meant to fit within a range of budgets." - Lindsey Tramuta
"Named as a pricier alternative the author might choose when willing to spend more on a New Year’s Eve bottle to lean into a more luxurious version of the fast-food-and-bubbles ritual." - Hillary Dixler Canavan
"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
"Hervé Deschamps has been the cellar master at Perrier-Jouët for 36 years. His responsibilities included managing grape delivery, inventory, training, laboratory analysis, and assisting with wine blending. Perrier-Jouët has a long history of blending various vintages to maintain a consistent house style. As Deschamps approaches retirement, he is training his successor, Séverine Frerson, reflecting on his career, and ensuring the continuity of Perrier-Jouët’s traditions." - Jacob Dean
