Our commitments

Champagne Joseph Perrier - Savoir faire

Time and nature are two essential ingredients in the
creation of great champagne wines.

Our vineyard

 

The Joseph Perrier vineyard covers 23 hectares ideally situated
on the slopes in the heart of the Champagne region. It is with respect for this family terroir that we carefully harvest our grapes by hand. This technique allows us to extract the highest quality grapes, necessary for the elaboration of our precious champagne wines.
Attached to biodiversity, Patrick, our vineyard manager, has been
working for many years in integrated viticulture. Since March 2021, our vineyards are certified Viticulture Durable en Champagne and Haute Valeur Environnementale 3 . Beyond these labels, it is a culture of humility, a passionate state of mind and a respectful listening to nature that are embedded within the House and the vision of the men and women who work there.

Biodiversity at the heart of our decisions

 

We have always worked with respect for nature. We are committed to letting nature express itself at its own pace. We preserve nature by limiting our interventions, gestures and actions. The vine is a fragile ecosystem in which small fauna and flora live in symbiosis.

To preserve and maintain this balance, we have replanted hedges and rose bushes around our vineyards to protect them from disease and encourage biodiversity. Finally, on our family site, above our cellars, there is an arboretum that naturally regulates the cellar temperature. Little by little, we’ve set up beehives here, from which we collect honey every year.

Our responsible production

 

We want to promote a local economy. We are committed to working with local, environmentally-friendly companies to promote French craftsmanship.

For example, we recently worked with the Tonnellerie de Champagne, a Living Heritage Company, to design our Réserve Héritage box. Our card holders and  key holders are made in collaboration with Maison Laffargue, a century-old family business.

We are also committed to the circular economy. In fact, 90% of our industrial waste is treated and recovered through systematic bottle recycling and, for a lucky few, a second life begins as candles.

Eventually, by 2025, we’d like to bring all our advertising product production back to Europe, 50% of it in France, to make the most of our national expertise.

Roasted lobster with white butter

Discover the perfect pairing of our La Côte à Bras 2012 vintage and a lobster roasted in beurre blanc.

Ingredients for 4 people:

  • 800 grams of Lobster
  • 4 shallots
  • 250 grams of butter
  • 10 centiliters of fluid cream
  • 20 centiliters of dry white wine
  • 1 pinch of cayenne pepper

 

Preparation:

  1. Peel and finely chop the shallots. Then sauté them in a small saucepan with the white wine. Add salt and pepper. Let the whole thing cook at low temperature to reduce the wine. At the end of the cooking, there should be only 4 spoons of liquid left. Add the cream and let it boil for 5 minutes.
  2. Whip your mixture vigorously, adding 200 grams of diced butter little by little, then the cayenne pepper. Keep this sauce warm in a non-boiling water bath.
  3. In a pot, bring a large amount of water with coarse salt added to boil. Dip the lobsters in it and let them boil for 3 or 4 minutes. Drain them before refreshing them under a net of cold water. Put them then flat on a board and cut them in two in the direction of the length. Remove the sand pockets (at the head) from each half. With a small hammer, give each claw a tap just to break the shell.
  4. Heat your oven to thermostat 7 (210 °C). 
  5. In a large skillet, heat the remaining 50 grams of butter. When it foams, brown the lobster halves on the flesh side. You can then place them on the drip pan of the oven. Salt, pepper and sprinkle them with butter before putting them in the oven for 10 minutes.
    6.Let rest lobsters 5 minutes in your turned off oven.
    7.Serve them without waiting with the sauce accompanied by a risotto with herbs or saffron.
Good tasting!
