Product details
Perrier-Jouët, established in 1811, is renowned for its elegant Champagnes that embody the artistry and heritage of the Maison. The Belle Epoque 2007 is a testament to this legacy, distinguished by its iconic bottle adorned with Emile Gallé's 1902 white anemone design. This vintage is a blend of 50% Chardonnay from Cramant, Avize, and Chouilly, 45% Pinot Noir from Mailly, Verzy, and Aÿ, and 5% Pinot Meunier from Dizy. The 2007 growing season featured a mild winter and exceptional spring, leading to an early harvest and a generous vintage.
In the glass, Belle Epoque 2007 reveals a light gold hue with radiant clarity and fine, vibrant bubbles. The nose is greeted with aromas of magnolia, honeysuckle, and citrus, complemented by notes of just-ripe pear and peach, with a hint of minerality. On the palate, it offers bold initial flavors followed by a persistent crystalline freshness, revealing white fruit nuances and almond milk notes. This Champagne pairs exquisitely with dishes such as sushi, lobster, and porcini mushrooms, enhancing their delicate flavors without overpowering them.
