Reviewed by: Yohan Castaing
The 2013 Brut Rosé Belle Epoque is turning out very well with a delicate, floral bouquet of peach, spring flowers, strawberries and almonds. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and elegant with a delicate mid-palate, it’s fresh and slightly tannic with a mineral, mouthwatering finish. This is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 45% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Meunier with a dosage of nine 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.
