The Making of Belle Époque 2013 Champagne by Perrier-Jouët

This vintage is composed of 50% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir, and 5% Pinot Meunier, sourced from the finest crus of the Champagne region. The grapes come from prestigious terroirs such as the Côte des Blancs for Chardonnay, bringing finesse and freshness, and the Montagne de Reims for Pinot Noir, offering structure and complexity. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve the aromatic purity of the grapes. After blending, the wine ages for about nine years on lees in the house's cellars, developing complexity and depth. The dosage is Brut, with approximately 8 grams of sugar per liter, balancing freshness and roundness.

The 2013 Vintage

The year 2013 in Champagne was characterized by a late vegetative cycle, with a long winter and cool spring. However, a hot and sunny summer allowed optimal ripening of the grapes, reminiscent of the classic vintages of the late 20th century. This climatic combination favored the production of wines that are both fresh and structured, perfectly reflecting the Champagne terroir.
