Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Blanc de Blancs is the jewel of the collection – the quintessential expression of Chardonnay in the style of Maison Perrier-Jouët.
SÉVERINE FRERSON, Maison Perrier-Jouët Cellar Master
Bright, shimmering gold with subtle glints of green. Exceptionally fine bubbles.
The nose
Aromas of white flowers with subtle overtones of honey, pear, pineapple and candied lemon.
The palate
Crisp and fresh in the mouth. Full and rich, with a long, silken, elegant finish.
For its elegance, its refinement and its wonderful, silken texture, I associate Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Blanc de Blancs with the finest satin.

Heritage
Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Blanc de Blancs was originally created from the 1993 harvest and released to celebrate the new millennium. True to the exacting principles of its founders, Maison Perrier-Jouët only declares a vintage in years of near- perfect conditions, making all its Belle Époque vintage cuvées a rarity, with Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Blanc de Blancs the rarest of them all. No edition of this exceptional cuvée numbers more than 40,000 bottles.
The moment
Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Blanc de Blancs is an exceptional champagne for exceptional celebrations,” says Séverine Frerson. “I consider it a wine for gastronomy, ideally paired with noble seafood – a carpaccio of scallops with citrus zest, seabass in a salt crust, turbot, lobster or langoustines, for example.
Giant glorious champagne so flowingly rich that you are dazzled by the vanilla-powdered nectar-like tasteful essence. Yellow juicy fruit with notes of coconut, mango and burgundy buttercream. Chardonnay in its essence.
