Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs
2017
“Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs is a vibrant and distinguished wine, with a natural authority.”
THE EYE
A very pale, pure, clear gold.
THE NOSE
Abundant aromas of white flowers, especially magnolia, complemented by acacia, almond, apricot and ginger.
THE PALATE
An inviting, expressive wine, which evolves towards acertain minerality. Delicious hints of lemon meringue pie.

Pure and precise, delicate and complex, Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs has an elegant, silken texture, almost infinite length on the palate, and – last but by no means least – great potential for ageing.

Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs 2017
Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs 2017 is a delicate and floral vintage, produced during a year with ideal conditions for harvesting Chardonnay.
Made from wines from a single vintage, and only when the weather conditions are perfect, the Belle Epoque vintage champagne cuvées are exceptionally rare. In 2017, after a cold, dry winter and a particularly warm start to spring, the month of April was marked by a significant drop in temperatures and even frosty spells.

In 2017, after a cold, dry winter and a particularly warm start to spring, the month of April was marked by a significant drop in temperatures and even frosty spells.
The warm, dry conditions ensued until late July and were followed by alternating periods of heavy rainfall and high temperatures until the harvest in early September, accelerating the ripening of the grapes and producing a champagne with a magnificent floral profile.
After at least 6 years’ ageing on the lees in the House’s cellar, 2017 Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs reveals all its complexity through its intense golden colour.
