$287.49 $273.99 price per bottle
Perrier-Jouet Belle Epoque is an icon of the House, a rare and elegant champagne that celebrates the art of vintage and the excellence of the Perrier-Jouet vineyard. It is also the original Belle Epoque cuvee to appear adorned with the legendary white Japanese anemone motif illustrated for the House in 1902 by Emile Galle, a master of Art Nouveau. This cuvee combines Pinot Noir from the north of the Montagne de Reims and Chardonnay from the celebrated Grand Cru villages of Cramant and Avize in almost equal proportions with a small quantity of Meunier grapes from Dizy. This floral, elegant vintage champagne is a supreme example of the art of blending in the Perrier-Jouet style. Testifying to the rarity of Perrier-Jouet Belle Epoque, less than 30 have been produced to date.

| A vineyard of 65Ha ranked at 99,2% on the Grand Cru scale. There are five main ’Crus’ featured in all Perrier-Jouet’s cuvees : Cramant (27Ha) and Avize (9Ha) in the Cote des Blancs, Chardonnay, 100% Grand Cru more than half of the Perrier-Jouet vineyard bring finesse and the typical floral notes (white flowers) style as well as length thanks to an optimum mid-hillside sunlight exposition. Mailly (9Ha) in the North of the Montagne de Reims, Pinot Noir: it brings power and elegance (less heavy than those from Bouzy or Ambonnay) through little red fruit notes. Ay (10Ha) and Dizy (10Ha), in the Vallee de la Marne, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The Pinot Noir from A bring elegance through its fresh fruits notes. The Pinot Meunier from Dizy (rated at 95%), located on the right bank of the Marne Vallee, brings roundness benefiting from warmer temperature than those from the Ardre Vallee. They bring generosity and are the bridge between Chardonnays and Pinots Noirs. |

The excellence of the raw materials has always been a major preoccupation, and particular attention is given to the noble chardonnays, which lend such particular character to the House wines. A refined and subtle blend of charm and elegance. The multiple facets of each wine reveal a broad aromatic palette and a subtle persistence. Floral, stylish and diamond-cut: the hallmark of wines from the House of Perrier-Jouet. An exceptional vineyard,giving the chardonnays, that are predominant in the House’s champagnes, all the richness of their floral aroma. A style passed down through the years, in the secrecy of the House Cellars by the Cellar Master, expert in their craftsmanship. |
