Perrier-Jouët : Belle Epoque Rosé 2007

Fresh and lively, a seductive rosé champagne

The producer

The Perrier-Jouët Champagne House was founded by Pierre Perrier and his wife Adèle Jouët in 1811. Produced from exceptional Champagne terroirs (Aÿ, Mailly-Champagne, Avize and Cramant), the house's wines are renowned for their unique style which combines aromatic richness, refinement and finesse. From 1861, Perrier-Jouët became Queen Victoria’s official champagne, then that of the French Imperial Court.

Owned by the Champagne Company, GH Mumm, since 1959, Perrier-Jouët's uniqueness lies in its iconic cuvée's prestigious "Belle Epoque" bottle, designed by Emile Gallé in 1969.

The wine

Stemming from a blend of emblematic Champagne terroirs (Cramant, Avize, Aÿ, Mailly and Dizy), the Belle Époque Rosé champagne is produced in limited quantities and exclusively during exceptional vintages. The bottle of Perrier-Jouët's Belle Époque Rosé 2007 is adorned with the white Japanese anemone, a design created for the house by Emile Gallé, an Art Nouveau master, in 1902.

Vinification and ageing

A small proportion of Pinot Noir grapes undergo a red vinification by macerating the clear juice of the Pinot Noir grapes with their skins. This vintage champagne is aged for a minimum of 6 years in the house’s chalk cellars.
