Benjamin Fourmon, Chairman and CEO of Champagne Joseph Perrier, becomes a dignitary of the Ordre Des Coteaux De Champagne. The House thus becomes even more deeply rooted in Champagne history. On February 8, 8 being Benjamin's lucky number, Christophe Juarez, Commander of the Order, elevated him to the rank of dignitary.

A ceremony was held at Maison Joseph Perrier itself. In his speech, Benjamin emphasized his role as a "passer of time", passing on to future generations his passion for wine and Champagne, values that had previously been passed on to him by his ancestors.
