Perrier-Jouët house was founded in 1811, one year after the marriage of Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Rose-Adelaide Jouët, two passionate and entrepreneurial champagne lovers. 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.
