A blend of wines from the Maison’s best vineyards, Perrier-Jouët Blason Rosé combines the elegance and finesse of Chardonnay (25%) with the structure of Pinot Noir (50%) and the fruitiness of Pinot Meunier (25%); combining fruity aromas with subtle floral notes, it is a rich wine with great length and character.
Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rosé 2010 is a rare and precious vintage rosé champagne, whose pale apricot color belies an extravagant personality characterized by alluring notes of white flowers and small red fruit.
A wonderful balance of generosity and elegance, Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs 2004 is the most accomplished expression of the Perrier-Jouët style; it is composed of Chardonnay grapes sourced exclusively from two of the Maison’s legendary vineyard parcels.
Floral and intricate, Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs 2006 is the expression of a near-perfect growing season; crisp in the mouth, the wine is full and rich with a long, silky finish.
Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque 2008 offers an ideal balance of delicacy and structure, combining the floral finesse of Grand Cru Chardonnays (50%) with Pinot Noirs (45%) and Pinot Meunier (5%) for added roundness and allure.
