The Making of Belle Époque 2014 Perrier-Jouët Champagne

The Chardonnays come from the Grand Cru terroirs of Cramant and Avize, known for their delicacy and minerality. The Pinot Noirs from the Montagne de Reims add an elegant structure, while the Pinot Meunier brings fruity notes. Aged for six years on lees before disgorgement, this cuvée is dosed at 8 g/L, offering a perfect balance between freshness and complexity.
