Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque Rose Champagne (750Ml)

Description

Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rosé is a rare vintage rosé Champagne. The house first created it in 1978. It is made only in exceptional years, and only in very small amounts. You will spot the bottle right away. Its anemone design comes from a 1902 collaboration with the artist Émile Gallé.

The blend brings together Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and a little Pinot Meunier. Recent vintages rest about six years in the cellars before release. In the glass it shows a pastel salmon-pink color with orange glints. The bubbles are very fine and keep rising.

Cellar Master Séverine Frerson finds strawberry and peony on the nose. Tart kumquat and white currant give it a bright edge. On the palate you get pink grapefruit and mandarin, backed by a rich brioche note. The finish is long and lingering, with a gentle mineral touch.

This is a Champagne to enjoy slowly, ideally with a meal. The house suggests salmon or tuna seared on one side, pigeon, or thin slices of duck breast. Lobster and mild cheeses work well too. Serve it chilled, around 10–12°C. A tulip glass gives the aromas room to open.

If you love fine wine made with patience, this bottle is worth saving for a big night. It also makes a memorable gift for a wedding or an anniversary.
