Tasting Notes

While every vintage of Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque naturally expresses the characteristics of its particular year, the personality of this iconic cuvée is clearly defined: poise, harmony and elegance combine to captivate the senses, with its bright gold colour and subtle sparkle an inviting prelude to rich nuances of white flowers and white-fleshed fruit. A long, expansive finish testifies to the rare quality of this exceptional champagne.

FLORAL · MAJESTIC

“Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque is characterised by harmony,” says Séverine Frerson. “Harmony in the blend, of course, which combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in almost equal proportions, but also harmony over time. This is a majestic cuvée which maintains its style and philosophy as it ages.”

THE STORY

Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque is the original Belle Epoque vintage cuvée, first appearing in 1964. Instantly recognisable throughout the world, its bottle is adorned with the graceful spray of Japanese white anemones created for Maison Perrier-Jouët by Art Nouveau master Emile Gallé in 1902.
