Then in 1848 their son Charles Perrier, along with a Henri Gallice and his younger brother Octave became Perrier-Jou\u00ebt directors. Octave, an art lover, met Emile Gall\u00e9 in Paris and requested a design for Perrier-Jou\u00ebt, which became the iconic emblem of the brand. Perrier-Jou\u00ebt one of the most respected and iconic Champagne brands in the world, has always had an affinity with the Art Nouveau movement and this was expressed through the emblematic anemone motif illustrated by Emile Gall\u00e9 in 1902. Today, the House continues to exude luxury by collaborating with artists to create extravagant memories. Along with their unique legacy, such as the creation of their first \u2018Brut\u2019 Champagne in 1842 and the iconic floral cuv\u00e9e named \u2018Belle \u00c9poque\u2019. Perrier-Jou\u00ebt also made history with the appointment of S\u00e9verine Frerson the first woman to hold the position of cellar master in 2020.
