Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs 2017

Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs 2017

Belle Epoque is the crown jewel of big champagne producer Perrier-Jouët. The wine was "invented" in the late 50s by the owner at that time called Michel Budin. He and his marketing director Pierre Ernst and the cellar master André Bavaret were inspired by an old, beautifully decorated bottle, which had been lying and collecting dust in a cupboard in a back room for a long time. A bottle that carried a range of glazed and finely curved anemones was made in 1902 by the glass artist Emile Galle, who is today considered one of the most significant figures in the French Art Nouveau movement.

The task was then to produce a Champagne that could live up to the beautiful packaging. The first attempt came on the market in 1969 in the form of a Vintage Brut 1964 and the rest, as they say, is history.

Introducing the rare gem in the Perrier-Jouet portfolio—the Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs Champagne. Around 5000 bottles are made. Crafted exclusively from the finest chardonnay grapes from 2 fields in Cramant, the 2017 vintage, meeting stringent criteria, is encased in a bottle adorned with blossoms, reserved for special occasions. This pale gold elixir unfolds a sensory journey with delicate notes of white roses and light fruits on the nose. The palate offers a silky-smooth experience, subtly fruity with hints of white pepper. The finish is persistently elegant, leaving a lasting impression. Elevate your celebrations with Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs—a testament to Perrier-Jouet's commitment to crafting exceptional, memorable moments.
