TASTING NOTES

The colour is a luminous pale gold, animated by an exceptionally fine and persistent bead. The nose, the House's signature floral expression, opens on honeysuckle, acacia and white peach before giving way to notes of poached pear and golden brioche. On the palate, the attack is fresh and creamy, with the minerality of the Côte des Blancs underpinning a long finish of toasted almond and candied citrus zest.

About this house

Founded in 1811 in Épernay by Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Rose-Adélaïde Jouët, the House stands as one of the historic references on the right bank of the Marne. Rooted in an Art Nouveau aesthetic ever since the creation of the Belle Époque bottle — adorned with a hand-painted white anemone, originally designed by Émile Gallé — it embodies a style that is floral, delicate and remarkably precise.

The Belle Époque cuvée, produced only in the finest years, draws from the House's best Grand Crus. Each vintage is the fruit of lengthy maturation that reveals both the expression of the terroir and the unmistakable floral signature of Perrier-Jouët.
