2014 | Perrier Jouet | Champagne Belle Epoque

The nose is delicate and floral, hints of lime blossom and acacia sweetened by gentle honey. The palate offers notes of white peaches, pears, lime blossom and white florals with a lingering mineral finish.

Producer Information

The house was born through the marriage of Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Adele Jouët in 1811. Originally, Perrier had been a cork manufacturer in Epernay. However, after the acquisition of vines throughout the Champagne region, the couple began making their Chardonnay-dominant wines and exporting to England in 1815, and eventually America in the late 1930s. Perrier-Jouët was a pioneer in Champagne: it was among the first houses to label bottles with the year of vintage, and it was one of the first to make Champagne in the brut style. The latter was introduced in 1856, because of the English palate of the time; previously Champagnes had been made with high levels of dosage. After seeing the success of Perrier-Jouët's brut Champagne, other houses began to release their own brut wines. The style is now, of course, the default. The brand is closely linked to the Art Nouveau movement of the late 19th and early 20th century. The emblematic anemone motif was created for the house by Emile Gallé in 1902. It features most strongly on the bottles of Belle Époque, whose name references this golden era for many Champagne houses. The historic 18th century mansion in Épernay which was the founding family's home for many decades was restored in 2017 to its former Art Nouveau style. Today, Perrier-Jouët is the Champagne of choice for the royal family of Monaco, traditionally being served to Princess Grace at the Rose Ball; the Belle Époque 2002 was also served at the wedding and official dinner of the Prince and Princess of Monaco in 2011.
