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 2013

The Champagne harvest 2013– late, but potentially outstanding

It has been another strange year for Champagne, starting with a cold, wet winter, followed by a gloomy, chilly spring with a lot of rain. Vine development started two weeks behind the ten-year average, and never made up for that lost time.

Written Notes

Belle Epoque Rosé 2013: Would the 2013 Rosé Belle Époque be able to match it with the 2013 standard Belle Époque (acknowledging that “standard” is the most demeaning of terms in this instance)? Would it what!

Pale onion skin in color, very pale, this is delicately fragrant with raspberry and strawberry notes. Bright acidity with spices, ginger, and florals with an undertow of chalk and minerals. Cherries emerge on the palate.

Delightfully fresh and focused, there is great intensity, but this is a wine that dances. And then lingers with gentle persistence. Love it. Have no fear of this champagne: like every Belle Époque, spending a long period in your cellar is to its advantage. 97.

Inside Information

A shimmering, pastel-toned, salmon-pink with luminous orange highlights in the glass. Aromas of strawberry and peony with the tartness of kumquat and white currant. The palate blends pink grapefruit and mandarin combined with the generosity of brioche. 

Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Rosé is a fascinating cuvée – subtle and delicate, yet also warm and embracing, as if it were wrapping you in silk. - Severine Frerson, Maison Perrier-Jouët Cellar Master
