Cuvée Belle Époque 2015 is an expressive, elegant champagne. It represents the excellence of the know-how of the Maison Perrier-Jouët and its vineyards. It is a champagne with a wonderful balance of fruit and spice. It is offered with its two flutes in a limited edition box designed by Fernando Laposse.
It's a cuvée that combines a majority of Chardonnay, Pinot Noirs for vinosity and Pinot Meunier for beautiful fruit aromas.
2015 was marked by a mild winter, followed by a dry spell in mid-May. This led to early flowering. July was remarkably dry and hot, but in mid-August everything changed, with rains accelerating the ripening of the grapes, resulting in optimal conditions for the September harvest.
"I'd associate Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque with white orchids, which are actually my favorite flowers. This cuvée is a perfect blend of delicacy and vitality, with all the discipline of a white orchid." Séverine Frerson, Cellar Master.
La Belle Epoque 2015 is pale gold in color, clear and luminous.
On the nose, it offers notes of white peach and pink grapefruit, as well as a floral touch.
On the palate, the balance is remarkable, with a delicate, fruity attack. On the midpalate, there are notes of pear and spice.
This is a champagne that goes particularly well with shellfish or hard cheeses such as Parmesan or Comté.
Perrier-Jouët asked Mexican artist Fernando Laposse to design a new case for its Blanc de Blancs. The artist wanted to pay tribute to the actions taken by the House to develop biodiversity in its vineyards.
