Belle Epoque Brut

2018
“Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque is characterised by harmony in the blend, which combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in almost equal proportions, but also in harmony over time.”

The structure of this cuvée recalls the grace of the Carnation, an emblematic motif of Art Nouveau. Its notes evoke the delicacy of this flower.

Belle Epoque Brut 2018

This rare and delicate vintage cuvée boasts a silky texture, underpinned by a wonderful vivacity and spicy hints on the finish.  
The Belle Epoque Brut2018 is the result of outstanding weather conditions. A mild and rainy winter, a summer marked by above-average temperatures and a particularly rainy period, followed by dry conditions, was propitious to harmonious flowering.
The hot, dry summer then offered generous sunshine, with moderately high temperatures, conducive to the optimal ripening of the berries.  
Meticulous blending by Perrier-Jouët’s Cellar Master and at least six years’ ageing on the lees in the House’s cellars, bestowed this Belle Epoque Brut 2018 with an elegant and complex structure, accompanied by lovely floral notes emblematic of the Perrier-Jouët style.
