Tasting notes

Reviewed by: Yohan Castaing
The 2013 Brut Belle Époque is a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Meunier sourced from Cramant, Avize, Chouilly, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Vertus and Mailly. It reveals a lively, gourmand bouquet of lemon oil, bread, spring flowers and ripe orchard fruits. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping and seamless, it’s elegant and charming with a long, mouthwatering finish. Dosage: eight grams per liter.
About the Producer
The chateau of Perrier-Jouët Champagne was founded in 1811, the name was composed of Mr. Pierre-Nicolas and Mrs. Marie Perrier (added her maiden name “Jouët”). They have successfully sold the wine to UK since 1815. After a few years, they also opened up the American market. These successes made more market demands. Therefore they started exploring more vineyards, like Avize, Cramant and so on. Most of the vineyards grow Chardonnay. This makes the foundation of unique style of Perrier- Jouët champagne.
