Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rose Champagne 750ml

Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rosé is resolutely original champagne that combines rarity with the ability to surprise. A meticulous blend of the best Crus of Champagne presented in a magnificent clear bottle decorated with Emile Galle’s Belle Epoque flower pattern. First created in 1978, it is crafted only in exceptional years and produced in minimal quantities.

The ancestry of Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut can be traced back to 1846, when Maison Perrier-Jouët launched its historic Cuvée K, the world’s first lightly dosed champagne in style today known as “brut”. Cuvée K was dosed at a sugar level of less than 5% – daringly little for an era when champagnes regularly contained up to 40%. Maison Perrier-Jouët became renowned for its brut champagnes, which it could produce because its high-quality grapes required very little added sugar.

A pale apricot colour shot through with bright glints, and alive with fine and constant bubbles, Pronounced, fragrant aromas of white flowers and wild strawberry, A wonderfully fresh and lively wine with a long, lingering finish. The richness of Pinot Noir is complemented by the floral elegance of Chardonnay, which provides the touch of finesse characteristic of Maison Perrier- Jouët. Finally, Pinot Meunier grapes from Dizy contribute their rounded, aromatic character.

Ideal pairings include salmon or tuna cooked on one side only, salmon with cranberry sauce, pigeon, or thinly sliced duck breast. Crafted with gastronomy in mind, its generous, complex flavours can accompany an entire meal, overturning traditional notions that rosés should be reserved for dessert.
