Perrier-Jouët is one of the most iconic champagne houses in the world. Located in Épernay, with the Golden triangle on the Côtes des Blancs, Perrier-Jouët’s vineyards are renowned for their exceptional quality, scoring vines rank at 99,2% on the Echelle des Crus quality scale. 

Perrier-Jouët’s legacy is built on bold choices and a dedication to excellence, beginning with the founders’s decision to make the chardonnay grape the signature of their house. This pioneering move has established an intricate floral style that has garnered worldwide acclaim. Perrier-Jouët has a strong commitment for nature, their commitment is notable in their meticulous vineyard care, ensuring the vines thrives alongside the natural richness of the exceptional Chardonnay grapes. 

First introduced in 1964, this original Belle Époque is instantly recognizable worldwide, with their bottles adorned with graceful Japanese white anemones designed by Art Nouveau master Emile Galle in 1902. Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque is a true icon of the house, celebrated for its rare and elegant character that embodies the art of vintage champagne. 

While Perrier-Jouët is renowned for its exceptional chardonnay vineyards it also boasts outstanding plots of Pinot Noir. Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque is a perfect example which masterfully blends Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varieties. 

Belle Époque Rosé was created in 1978 and reflects the true spirit of the Perrier-Jouët house. Belle Époque Rosé is a resolutely original champagne which combines rarity with ability to surprise due to the combination of three grape varieties Chardonnay (50%), Pinot Noir (45%) and Pinot Meunier (5%). 

THE YEAR

The winter of 2010 was relentless, and was followed by a hot spring and summer. August brought abundant rainfall, and more rain during the harvest undermined the quality of the grapes. Maison Perrier-Jouët undertook a rigorous selection and devoted the best of the harvest to Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rosé, a cuvée whose style was favoured by the conditions, and the only one for which it declared a vintage. Characterised by remarkable vinosity, this is thus a particularly rare cuvée from one of the few champagne houses to produce a 2010 vintage.

This 2010 cuvee has a shimmering, pastel-toned, salmon-pink hue with luminous orange highlights. Belle Epoque Rosé 2010 presents aromas of red fruits such as strawberry and raspberry followed by hints of nuts,honey and brioche. On the palate, it reflects an exceptional well-structure with a great finesse, intensity and delicateness with the purity fruit.

The term “Champagne'' refers exclusively to sparkling wine produced in the Champagne region in northeastern France. The champagne wine region is one of the most prestigious not only in France but also in the world. Champagne, synonyms of celebration, prestige, French tradition is produced in Champagne in northeastern France. 

Originally planted by the Romans, the earliest known wine-producing vineyards in Champagne were planted in the 3rd to 5th centuries. From the 5th to the 9th centuries, clergy and religious orders began putting roots down in the wine industry. The wines of Champagne have long been enjoyed by French nobility and the monarchy. In the 17th century, religious figures including the Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Perignon, who was a cellar master in the Abbey of Hautvillers devised several production methods that are still used today. The region’s first Champagne house was founded in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart who went into the introduction of sparkling wines. Followed by Moët & Chandon in 1743. This wine has continued to develop and has acquired an international reputation. In 1936, the designation of Champagne was protected by an Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC). This appellation was created to guarantee the quality and authenticity of the terroir but also to protect climate, the vineyard management, the winemaking techniques, the labeling within a delimited area. And more recently, the region's legacy was formerly recognized by UNESCO. It’s in 2015, that this organization designed the hillsides, houses and cellars of CHampagne like a World Heritage Site. 

Located 90 miles east of Paris, this region spans five main wine-growing areas : Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, Côte des Bar, Vallée de la Marne et Montagne de Reims. In the heart of the champagne wine region, Epernay, known as the capital of Champagne, this city benefits from the champagne attraction to develop its local economy and produces over 200 million bottles of champagne. Reims is also renowned for its numerous Champagne Grands Crus and Premiers Crus. 

Champagne is produced in 319 villages also called “Crus” covering some 34,3000 hectares. Nearly 280 000 plots, tended by more than 16 000 growers make up the area under vine in Champagne. 

This region is renowned for its chalky soils and cool climate ideal for viticulture. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay are the primary grape varieties used to make champagne but sometimes Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris can be added, each contributing to the complexity of champagnes. Each grape variety brings its own notes. Pinot Noir contributes good palate weight and darker, Pinot Meunier gives acidity and fruitiness, Chardonnay brings elegance and finesse. Different styles of champagne are produced, the most popular are Champagne Blanc de Blancs with 100% chardonnay, Blanc de Noir with 100% Pinot Noir and Champagne Rosé. 

The production process particularly the methode champenoise involves a second fermentation in the bottle, giving the wines their unique effervescence and fine mousse. The wine reflects an ancestral know-how and a unique terroir, making champagne as a symbol of celebration, prestige, innovation and quality.
