An organic Champagne combining finesse and character

The estate

Founded in 1825 in Châlons-en-Champagne, the Joseph Perrier House remains family-owned to this day, with 24 hectares of vineyards spread across Cumières, Hautvillers, and Damery. Under the direction of Benjamin Fourmon, the sixth generation at the head of the estate, this Champagne House stands out for its remarkable ground-level Gallo-Roman cellars stretching over three kilometers. Appointed as a royal supplier since 1889, Joseph Perrier perpetuates time-honored know-how, emphasizing long aging periods.

The vineyard

This Cuvée Royale Extra Brut Organic comes from vineyards in Champagne certified for organic farming, located in the communes of Verneuil, Épernay, Moussy, Villedommange, Villenauxe, and Villers-Marmery.

The cuvée

The vinification of the Cuvée Royale Extra Brut Organic follows the principles of the traditional Champagne method. The House’s commitment to organic farming is reflected in a respectful approach to the grapes throughout the entire production process. The bottle’s presentation also reflects this environmental approach: a label made from recycled paper produced from grape residues, a bio-based capsule, and eco-optimized printing techniques. The dosage is 5 g/L.
