Perrier-Jouet, in the heart of Champagne, was founded in 1811 by Pierre-Nicolas-Marie Perrier-Jouet. One of Perrier-Jouet’s distinctive features is its Art Nouveau-influenced label, which is still used for the estate’s most prestigious cuvées.

Powell & Son is the relatively new project of Dave Powell, founder of Australia’s famed Torbreck and his son Callum.

The namesake 12th century tower stands in the courtyard. The Kressman family has been managing the estate for four generations, and designed the labels in the 1930s.
