Joseph Perrier (Châlons-en- Champagne)
Champagne Joseph Perrier was founded by father-son duo François-Alexandre and Joseph Perrier in 1825. Today, the estate remains in the family’s hands, with Perrier’s sixth generation at the helm of operations. Comprising 23 hectares, the family’s vines are located on the right bank of the Marne and are handpicked, carefully sorted, and vinified / aged for a minimum of three years prior to bottling. Champagne Joseph Perrier is known for their respect for traditional and artisanal winemaking methods, as well as their authentic, high-quality Champagnes that promise to satisfy a variety of preferences.
Jacquesson (Dizy)
The Jacquesson estate is one of the most renowned in Champagne. Boasting more than 200 years of history, the terroir-focused winery has been farming without herbicides or chemicals for decades, far before it was fashionable to do so. In the same vein, rather than favoring consistent flavor profiles, Jacquesson embraces the variations from each vintage, and has long adopted a vintage-forward expression over one of steady ‘house’ blend. (Note: The first vintage to adopt this mentality was the cuvée 728; since then, the cuvée number has increased by one digit per year.) However,
the thread that ties all of the numbered cuvées together is that they always use all three main grape varieties, are vinified in old oak barrels, and use a small percentage of reserve wine. Jacquesson is also known for its single-vineyard bottlings and large number of old, late-released bottles.
