Historic French champagne house Maison Perrier-Jouët is releasing its first ever non-fungible token (NFT) via BlockBar.com, the world’s first NFT marketplace for luxury wine and spirits, featuring a limited-edition Jeroboam (3L) of Perrier-Jouët Vintage 2007 from the Anemone collection as well as a two-day, one-night stay at UNESCO World Heritage Site Maison Belle Epoque.
With only 10 available in the world, BlockBar.com is exclusively releasing number 10 of 10 and the last of the three-litre Belle Epoque 2007 engraved with the message ‘1st Perrier-Jouët NFT’. The Belle Epoque 2007 of the Perrier-Jouët exclusive Anemone Collection is composed of six Belle Epoque vintage cuvées embellished with hand-crafted floral lacework inspired by the House’s emblematic Japanese anemones that cling to the curves of the bottle. Fashioned in 24-carat yellow gold by master goldsmiths of Orfèverie Felix, guarantors of a traditional savoir-faire that has been crafting exceptional pieces for royalty and luxury hotels since 1875, the precious décor is designed to match the exceptional expression of the champagne. Wonderfully fresh with aromas of flowers and citrus, the Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque 2007 lingers on the palate with notes of white fruit and almond milk.
