Experiences

The Glenlivet has been appreciated for almost 200 years, all over the world, for its excellence.

Founded by George Smith, it has been crafted in the remote Livet Valley in the wild highlands of Scotland since 1824. As the first licensed distillery in the region of Glenlivet, where almost everyone ran an illicit still on the side, George Smith established himself as an original thinker and creator of the original Speyside single malt.

Operating his distillery freely, he angered many of the long-time illegal producers, resulting in multiple threats on his life. Armed with determination and a pair of flintlock pistols, George risked life and liberty to protect his whisky. He continued operating the distillery until he died and passed his heritage to his son.

For more than two centuries, Maison Perrier-Jouët has cultivated "the art of revealing nature".

The House was founded in 1811 by a young couple, Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Rose-Adélaïde Jouët, who shared not only a passion for champagne, but also a love of art and nature. They selected Chardonnay as the signature of Maison Perrier-Jouët, defining the floral and complex style of its wines. In 1902, Emile Gallé, one of the pioneers of Art Nouveau, created a Japanese anemone motif for Maison Perrier-Jouët, which would become the emblem of the House and adorn the bottles of Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque vintage champagnes.

Located in Epernay, Maison Belle Epoque, is a vibrant expression of Maison Perrier-Jouët art de vivre. Once the historic home of the founding family, Maison Belle Epoque stands as the ultimate testament to Maison Perrier-Jouët’s singular bond with art and nature and houses Europe’s largest private collection of French Art Nouveau.
