OUR CHAMPAGNES PERRIER-JOUËT BELLE EPOQUE VINTAGE
From Blanc de Blancs to Brut and Rosé, each style boasts two cuvée collections, revealing distinctive yet complementary aspects of the House’s expertise
PERRIER-JOUËT Belle Epoque
Maison Perrier-Jouët was born over 200 years ago from a couple’s shared love of nature, passion for art and vision of champagne. The values that define the House today – an attachment to the terroir, an unconventional approach, a belief in creativity – are all firmly anchored in the history of the founding family.
Perrier-Jouët 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-Jouët vineyard. It is also the original Belle Epoque cuvée to appear adorned with the legendary white Japanese anemone motif illustrated for the House in 1902 by Emile Gallé, a master of Art Nouveau.
A mild winter was followed by a cool, wet spring which resulted in the late blooming of the vines between 16th and 21st June 2012. The summer was hot and bathed in sunshine from mid-July all the way until the end of the harvest, favouring the maturity of the grapes. The rain only returned at the end of the harvest period. These excellent conditions produced an ideal balance between sugar and acidity, resulting in a wine of exceptional harmony, with great energy, character and potential.
