Description

Perrier-Jouët's Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs 2012 is an exceptional champagne. Made from Chardonnay from the finest terroirs of the Côte des Blancs, it is a cuvée of remarkable precision and finesse. True to the exacting principles of its founders, Perrier-Jouët only declares a vintage in years when the best conditions are present, which explains the rarity of its champagnes.

2012 was characterized by a rainy spring and a gloomy start to summer. But from mid-August onwards, summer settled in Champagne, bringing very dry weather and warm temperatures right up to the end of the harvest. Yields for the 2012 harvest were relatively modest, helping to produce concentrated wines.

"With its elegance, refinement and beautiful silky texture, this champagne reminds me of white orchid, my favorite flower." Séverine Frerson, Cellar Master

This cuvée has a luminous, pale gold color.

The nose is refined and delicate, with aromas of white flowers and white-fleshed fruit.

The attack is frank and delicate. The wine is subtle and chiseled, with a hint of white pepper. This champagne has an elegant silky texture and an almost infinite length on the palate. It has incredible ageing potential.

This prestige cuvée, Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs 2012, is a gastronomic wine, ideal for pairing with noble seafood such as scallops in carpaccio with citrus zest, sea bass in a salt crust, turbot, lobster or langoustines.
