"Nestled in the heart of Épernay, Champagne, Perrier-Jouët's Maison Belle Époque opens its doors only to a rare few. Within its walls, more than two centuries of savoir-faire in champagne-making meet Europe's largest private collection of Art Nouveau masterpieces - over 200 works by Gallé, Majorelle, Guimard, and their contemporaries - each reflecting the Maison's enduring devotion to beauty and nature."
"On the occasion of the Maison's ongoing collaboration with Design Miami.Paris and its 2025 activations (find more in our Paris guide here), designboom was granted exclusive access to this historic residence, where Art Nouveau's sinuous forms intertwine with contemporary commissions by today's leading designers and artists, continuing Perrier-Jouët's living conversation between art and design. Read on to explore the historic venue, the identity of the Maison, its connection to design and art, and its close relationship with the Design Miami fair."
"Built in the late 18th century, La Maison Belle Époque captures the Perrier-Jouët spirit, where art and nature meet in a constant, creative exchange. The story began in 1811, when Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Rose-Adélaïde Jouët combined their shared passions for winemaking, botany, and the arts to found the iconic champagne house. That same vision still resonates through the Belle Époque home in Épernay, where the largest private collection of Art Nouveau in Europe unfolds like a living gallery."
Maison Belle Époque sits in Épernay, Champagne, and opens its doors only to a rare few. The residence houses more than two centuries of Perrier-Jouët's champagne savoir-faire alongside Europe's largest private collection of Art Nouveau—over 200 works by Gallé, Majorelle, Guimard, and contemporaries. Beneath the house, three underground chalk levels preserve thousands of bottles at various stages of fermentation. The house traces back to 1811, when Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Rose-Adélaïde Jouët combined passions for winemaking, botany, and the arts. Art Nouveau's sinuous forms coexist with contemporary commissions by leading designers and artists, and the Maison collaborates with Design Miami.Paris for 2025 activations.
