Perrier-Jouët – Champagne Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs – 2002

We are talking about 1811 when Pierre Nicolas Perrier and Adèle Jouet founded the Maison, and from the very first bottling the name Perrier-Jouët began to make itself known and appreciated for the excellent quality of its Champagnes. The constant search for perfection led the couple to buy the best Grands Crus in the Cote des Blancs, and to avoid counterfeiting they were the first to insert the Cru and the vintage on the bottles. At the end of the nineteenth century it was one of the most prestigious and expensive labels in Champagne. Quality is always the top priority and there is no room for compromise. Perrier-Jouët bubbles are distinguished, in fact, by their floral character, absolute elegance and rare aromatic finesse where Chardonnay prevails. Today the Maison is owned by Pernod-Ricard 65 hectares of vineyards with the highest average in the Cru scale.
If we talk about the Maison Perrier-Jouët today we cannot fail to mention the great Chef de cavé Hervé Deschamps, he is a legend and his is not a simple job but a true art of assembly.
The Cuvée Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs is the qualitative pinnacle of the Maison, an epic wine whose Chardonnay grapes come from two legendary parcels in the Cote des Blancs, Bourons Leroy and Bourons du Midi. A particular composition of optimal factors, chalky soils, perfect exposure of plants to the sun’s rays, here the chardonnay is expressed in its purest form, the wine that we will taste will excite us with its incredible elegance linked to a complexity that is no less important. One word to describe it, amazing!
