The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Since 1811, Maison Perrier-Jouët has upheld a uniquely floral and complex style, thanks to a priceless vineyard heritage almost entirely planted in Grand Cru sites, with a strong emphasis on Chardonnay.

The jewel of their range, the Belle Époque cuvée, is one of Champagne’s true masterpieces. Introduced as a blanc de blancs in 1969—using the 1964 vintage—this Champagne is instantly recognizable by its signature bottle, adorned with a delicate spray of Japanese anemones, a design created for Perrier-Jouët by Art Nouveau master Émile Gallé in 1902.
Wine Elegant and refined, the 2016 white Belle Époque expresses itself through delicate notes of white flowers and white fruit. It offers a harmonious and balanced experience, fully benefiting from the vintage’s excellent ripeness to reveal a generous and confident character, centered on the floral and fruity signature that defines its style. The wine’s finesse shines through, making it irresistibly charming with a lovely richness and a creamy finish.
Vinification Hand harvested, aged for at least 6 years.
