The Story

Since early years, the production of Belle Epoque has grown year after year. Belle Epoque Rosé was created in 1976. The excellent vintage of Chardonnay in 1993 inspired Hervé Deschamps, cellar master at Perrier-Jouët, to produce a small quantity of Blanc de Blancs:

-“The production is very small-scale – only one per cent of all Belle Epoque champagnes. The grapes are grown almost exclusively in one of our top vineyards in Cramant. Rosé make...

Vintage 2012

2012 was deemed one of the best vintages the Champagne region has ever experienced. After a mild winter, spring frost and hail caused damage to the vineyards. By mid-July, summer had arrived in earnest, with dry heat and ample sunshine to bring grapes to perfect maturity across all crus. The rain returned at the end of September, just as the harvest began.

Written Notes

Belle Époque Rosé 2012: From the much-lauded vintage of 2012, on paper (as they might say if this was a sporting contest) this should be the pick of the range. On paper doesn’t always ring true, but on this occasion both on paper and in the glass had it the winner!

Even paler than the 2013, this was amazingly delicate, even ethereal, and yet with endless generosity. Fragrant, ripe, layered, and complex, there are gentle red fruits, pink grapefruit, florals, citrus, and spices. Exquisite. Perfect balance and a wine that persists for an incredible amount of time. A great future undoubtedly, but it is so glorious now good luck keeping your hands off it. 98.

Ultra-fine and sophisticated enjoyment from the start. When I first met Hervé Deschamp's creation, it was in the middle of the darkest winter. I can imagine this wine being made for a sunset one beautiful early summer evening in May. Romance, flowers, strawberries, oranges and strawberries are what my brain immediately associates with. A wonder of caressing pleasures throughout the body meets the one who throws himself over this sensual champagne experience. Breathtaking silky, soft, complete and harmonious. So soft and seamless that you may be tempted to think that you can not save this delicacy. The aftertaste is already astonishingly long and Cramant is the army commander with its creamy citrus base together with wild strawberries and strawberry dessert in whipped cream.

Light, onion skin rose colour. Complex and refined nose has toasty aromas with apricots. Dry, fresh, supple palate with pure and fresh apricot and strawberry notes. Lingering finish. – JL 93p. (3/2023)
