    In its newiteration,the exquisite Garden of Wonder celebrates the city’s passion for the arts, innovation and gastronomy in a luxurious all-encompassing immersive experience.

    Crafting nature into art since 1811, the House of Perrier-Jouët draws upon the exuberant power of nature to delight and inspire, re-wilding the Garden of Wonder to re-enchant Hong Kong with an #ArtoftheWildtheme.

    Open daily, 11am –8pm from 19thMarch to 8th April, the Garden of Wonder welcomes guests to an exclusive champagne experience set against the backdrop of the captivating cutting-edge art installation, “Becoming” by German-American duo Luftwerk.

    In addition to taking in the beauty and artistry of the pop-up, visitors will also enjoy the unique opportunity to personalise a Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut bottleas well as activities including DIY Floral Painting workshops and “Surprise Happy Hours”.

    Held twice a weekand announced on the Garden of Wonder minisite (www.gardenofwonder.hk), “Surprise Happy Hours” invite the first 50 Garden of Wonder patrons toenjoy a complimentary glass of a select Perrier-Jouëtchampagne.

    For gastronomes, the Garden of Wonder celebration extends across Perrier-Jouët’s partnering hotels including Conrad Hong Kong,Hotel Iconand Cordis Hotel,where guests can savour meticulously crafted gourmet Popsticks and champagne pairings for a sublime culinary experience.

    As a special part of this celebration, Perrier-Jouët Cellar Master Hervé Deschamps will travel from France to bring Hong Kongers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

    For true lovers of champagne, Perrier-Jouët offers Hong Kongers the ultimate champagne gift –private “By & For” consultations with Hervé Deschamps for clients who wish to create their own bespoke champagne, composed for you by the Perrier-Jouët Cellar Master himself.

    The once-in-a-lifetime “By & For” experience enriches the customer experience. By & For is the experience of a lifetime that leads to an extraordinary creation –a champagne that expresses both theuniqueness of the person who commissioned it as well as the exceptional savoir-faire of Maison Perrier-Jouët and Cellar Master Hervé Deschamps.

    Two months after commissioning the champagne, By & For guests are invited to the historic home of Perrier-Jouët in Epernay, France where they will experience their personal cuvée in the House’s private cellars.

    True to Maison Perrier-Jouët’s meticulous attention to detail, the presentation of the By & For cuvée can be extensively customised –from the colourof the foil and logo to engraving text around the neck of the iconic Belle Epoque bottle.

    The By & For experience marks the beginning of an enduring relationship: as members of an exclusive circle, By & For clients and their descendants can, at any time, order bottles of their bespoke cuvée, whose secret recipe is preciously guarded by Maison Perrier-Jouët.

    Pernod Ricard Asia troubles parent

    Despite difficulties in Asian travel retail, particularly in Korea, liquor supplier Pernod Ricard reports solid first-half 2015/2016 results totalling €5b ($5.7b) and organic growth of 3 per cent.

    It says the results represent a continued gradual improvement apart from difficulties for the Chivasbrand in the pernod Ricard Asia portfolio.

    There was a negative mix driven by geography – growth in India vs. a decline in China. Overall in Asia, the company had 5 per cent growth (or 4 per cent, taking into account the changing dates of the Chinese New Year) with double-digit growth in India. However, China declined by 2 per cent (down 8 per cent adjusting for Chinese New Year).

    “Our half-year results are solid, delivering a continued improvement in sales,” says chairman and CEO Alexandre Ricard. “Our strategy has remained consistent and is driving results, in particular in terms of innovation.”

    He says the company plans to continue improving its performance and will continue to support priority markets, brands and innovations.

    Pernod Ricard includes Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, The Philippines and Vietnam in its emerging markets, and lists its top 14 brands for organic growth as Absolut, Ballantine’s, Beefeater, Chivas Regal, Havana Club, Jameson, Kahlua, Malibu, Martell, Mumm, Perrier-Jouët, Ricard, Royal Salute and The Glenlivet.

    Formed in 1975 by the merger of Ricard and Pernod, the company has a workforce of about 18,000 people. Its decentralised organisation has six brand companies and 80 market companies in each key market.
