Wine:

A quintessential Chardonnay, the 2012 Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs champagne displays a brilliant finesse linked with great generosity. Its refined and delicate aromas are a blend of white flowers, juicy summer fruits and warm brioche.

Since 1811, the Perrier-Jouët House has perpetuated an inimitable floral and complex style thanks to an invaluable heritage of vines, almost entirely located in Grands Crus and with a strong emphasis on Chardonnay.

The most iconic champagne of the range, the Belle Epoque wine is one of the jewels of the Champagne region. Launched in white in 1969 - with the 1964 vintage - this champagne is recognizable among all thanks to its silk-screened bottle enhanced by a delicate flight of Japanese anemones, created for the House of Perrier-Jouët by the master of Art Nouveau, Emile Gallé, in 1902.
