Perrier-Jouët : Belle Epoque Rosé 2013

A rosé champagne imbued with elegance and aromatic finesse

The property

The Champagne House of Perrier-Jouët was founded in 1811 by Pierre Perrier and his wife Adèle Jouët. Originating from exceptional terroirs of Champagne (Aÿ, Mailly-Champagne, Avize and Cramant), the cuvées of the house are recognized for their unique style combining aromatic richness, refinement and subtlety. From 1861, Perrier-Jouët became the designated champagne of Queen Victoria, and then that of the French Imperial Court.

Owned since 1959 by the Champagne company GH Mumm, the House of Perrier-Jouët owes its uniqueness in part to the iconic bottle of the prestige cuvée "Belle époque", designed in 1969 by Émile Gallé.

The cuvée

Produced in limited quantities and only in exceptional vintages, the Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rosé champagne is made from a blend of the emblematic terroirs of Champagne (Cramant, Avize, Aÿ, Mailly and Dizy). The Belle Époque Rosé 2010 cuvée from Perrier-Jouët is adorned with the Japanese white anemone, a motif created for the house in 1902 by Émile Gallé, master of Art Nouveau.

Blend

This vintage champagne 2013 is the result of a blend of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier.
