Champagne is more than something you save for a toast. It has a story, a style, a mood and, when paired with the right food, becomes a proper experience.
For our next For the Love of Champagne long lunch, we’re celebrating Perrier-Jouët with an afternoon of Champagne, food and conversation at Henry and the Fox.
Hosted by a Perrier-Jouët brand ambassador Andrea Giraud (@andrealoveschampagne) alongside our own wine guru Terry P, this lunch is designed to be informative without taking itself too seriously. You’ll learn about the history, house style and personality behind Perrier-Jouët, while Terry keeps the afternoon moving with his usual warmth, humour and larger-than-life energy.
Executive Chef Malcolm Williams has created a six-course menu to match the occasion, with each course paired to a Perrier-Jouët Champagne.
During the lunch, you’ll enjoy:
Six matched food and Champagne courses
Perrier-Jouët Champagnes poured throughout the afternoon
Hosting by a Perrier-Jouët brand ambassador
Wine conversation, stories and guidance from Terry P

A relaxed long lunch atmosphere at Henry and the Fox
This is a lunch for people who enjoy more than just a good glass of Champagne. It’s for those who love the story behind the wine, the thinking behind the food, and the way the two come together at the table.
Founded in Épernay in 1811, Perrier-Jouët is one of Champagne’s most recognisable houses.
Known for its floral style, finesse and strong Chardonnay influence, Perrier-Jouët has long been connected with art, nature and celebration. Its famous Belle Epoque bottle, decorated with Japanese anemones by Art Nouveau artist Émile Gallé, has become an icon in its own right.
This lunch gives guests the chance to experience Perrier-Jouët beyond the toast, through food, storytelling and a line-up that includes some of the house’s most iconic cuvées.
