BELLE EPOQUE ROSÉ 2006
Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rosé 2006 is an exceptional cuvée from the House prestige collection. Crafted only in remarkable vintages, this wine is the result of a year of nature’s generosity. Spring was blighted by late frosts in April that decimated many Crus across the region, but luckily Perrier-Jouët’s vineyards escaped unscathed. In June the weather turned much hotter, enabling flowering to take place successfully during the last two weeks of the month. The whole region based in a heatwave in July, punctuated by a few violent storms, before the weather turned cooler and wetter in August. But luckily nature was kind and September brought perfect weather to enable the grapes to fully ripen in time for the harvest.
BELLE EPOQUE BLANC DE BLANC 2006
The year’s conditions were particularly favourable to Chardonnay, with the ripeness of the grapes, combined with aromatic richness and vinosity, resulting in a wine of exceptional finesse and generosity. Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs is the quintessence of Chardonnay, crafted from grapes from Grand Cru terroirs in the Côte des Blancs, including the House’s two legendary plots, Bouron Leroi and Bouron du Midi, within the village of Cramant, which were among the first acquired by Maison Perrier-Jouët in the mid 19th century, when Charles Perrier, the son of the founders, used his extensive knowledge of viticulture and the terroirs of Champagne to identify their potential for yielding the supreme expression of the Chardonnay grape. The Grand Cru terroirs selected for Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs are notable for their pure-chalk soils, which lend this cuvée its distinctive minerality.
