Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque is a true icon - a rare and elegant champagne that celebrates the art of vintage and the excellence of the Perrier-Jouët vineyard. It is a Champagne we can enjoy any time of year as it can turn a mundane day into magic. So when we saw this offering, we had to feature it! First appearing in 1964, the flagship for Perrier-Jouët is instantly recognizable throughout the world with its graceful spray of Japanese white anemones created for Maison Perrier-Jouët by Art Nouveau master Emile Gallé in 1902. Enjoy a top shelf Champagne at a great price.
Our notes
Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of creme brulee, dried apricot, brioche, and marzipan and apple with a velvety, lively, finely carbonated, dryish medium body and a tingling, captivating, medium-length finish that exhibits overtones of lemongrass, yellow apple and orange zest, almond flower with honeycomb, and white tea. Complex and layered, this gem is drinking incredibly well now and will likely adapt and improve over the next decade or so in your cellar if you have the patience to wait to pop it.
WINE ENTHUSIAST 95 POINTS - "White fruit and honeysuckle aromas give the latest vintage of this iconic Champagne an impressively fresh character. Apples and just a touch of toast are reinforced by the gentle dosage of the wine. Drink now." — Roger Voss
