An exceptionally rare 147-year-old bottle of champagne was auctioned at Christie’s London. It was sold for over 50,000 euros, a record.<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Christie’s<\/strong> offered a collection of various vintage champagnes from Perrier-Jou\u00ebt<\/strong><\/a> on Thursday, December 2 and Friday, December 3. Among the offerings, an 1874 vintage of Perrier-Jou\u00ebt Brut Mill\u00e9sime<\/strong>, which already has a long history with the auction house, sold for over 50,000 euros<\/strong>. Indeed, this champagne had already been the most expensive ever sold in the history of Christie’s… in 1888 ! Losing its record in 1967, it rested for 147 years in very strict conservation conditions (total darkness, temperature between 11 and 14 degrees…) in the cellars of the Perrier-Jou\u00ebt vineyard, in the \u00c9pernay region.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“This does not happen very often. There are hardly any bottles of this vintage, maybe a handful, they are so incredibly rare<\/em>,” said Tim Triptree<\/strong>, Christie’s international director of wine and spirits.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He adds, “Older champagne tends to become much richer, slightly more golden or amber, and the aromas intensify to offer more caramel, mocha, toasted hazelnuts or toasted almonds and even a little hint of sherry and Madeira. In terms of mouthfeel, the fizz can be considerably reduced. Maybe the wine will be a little flat or there will just be a slight tingle. But it should still have the characteristic vibrant acidity that is associated with champagne<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

The buyer of the bottle will also enjoy a tour of the Perrier-Jou\u00ebt cellars, a tasting, a meal cooked by three-star Michelin chef Pierre Gagnaire<\/strong>, as well as an overnight stay at the Maison Belle \u00c9poque, Perrier-Jou\u00ebt’s 19th century family home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I am very proud to see how the unique wine heritage of the Maison Perrier-Jou\u00ebt has been recognized and celebrated by wine lovers at Christie’s. I look forward to meeting the buyer of the Perrier-Jou\u00ebt 1874 vintage in Epernay, France, where they will have the opportunity to continue this remarkable experience at the Maison Belle Epoque, the historic home of our founders<\/em>,” comments S\u00e9verine Frerson<\/strong>, Maison Perrier-Jou\u00ebt’s Cellar Master.<\/p>\n
