“Complex and rich, with floral notes that typify the Perrier-Jouët style” (Herve Deschamps)
An exceptional, beautifully crafted Champagne, with stunning Chardonnay complexity and length. Rich yet delicate, rounded yet refined; floral motifs of hawthorn and acacia lead into citrus and tropical notes.
Tasting Notes:
One vintage, one terroir, one grape veriaty and just plots - Bourons-Leroy and Bourons du Midi, nestling at the heart of the Cramant Grand Cru in the Cote de Blancs, setting the scene for Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs. Perfect conditions for creating this unique wine; pure chalk soil halfway up the hillside, facing south / south-east.
Warm flowers, acacia, candied citrus, nectarine, honey, vanialla, nougat. Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs is full of delicate, smooth and sensual aromas.
A silky, fleshy wine, that is floral and stylish, subtle and elegant, with a wide range of aromas, to be enjoyed on its own or with seafood - oysters, caviar, cream of sea urchin.
Light, elegant acidity and balance. Will develop further complexity with age. The quintessence of the House terroir.
Grape Variety:
100% Chardonnay from two parcels in Cramant: ‘Bourons-Leroy’ and ‘Bourons du Midi’.
Dosage - 8g/l
Background Information:
For over two centuries, Maison Perrier-Jouet has continually pursued its quest for quality. 1811 is not just a legendary vintage, it is also the year that Nicolas Perrier, the son of winegrower, Adèle Jouët, the daughter of a family of wine merchants, went on to create a major champagne House. The combination of tradition, “terroir”, know-how, and a love of work created a champagne with elegance and finess.
Lying in the heart of the champagne region, Perrier-Jouet owns 65 hectares rating 99.2% on the quality scale (100% being the optimum). This means that each vineyard parcels is classified almost exclusively as Grand Cru.
The Chardonnay grape, floral and almost feminine in its elegance and finesse, is the signature variety of Perrier-Jouet’s vineyards, with a strong showing of mature vines (23 years old on average). The holdings take in a homogenous terroir of Chardonnay vineyards some 40 hectares in area within the legendary Grands Crus of Cramant and Avize. Two parcels enjoy almost mythical status - Bourrons Leroy and Bourrons du Midi.
From its early days, the House of Perrier-Jouet has made champagne in small quantities with a “limited edition” approach. Like master craftsmen handing down the secrets of their trade from father to son, the seven Chefs de Cave over two centuries have placed quality before quantity.
They have also managed to conserve the House’s historical treasures in the shape of its early vintages, such as the Perrier-Jouet 1825, the oldest left in Champagne today. Hervé Deschamps, our current Cellar Master and guardian of this heritage, is a natural upholder of this creative philosophy.
