Perrier-Jouet Belle Epoque Brut 2015 / 2016

In 2015, an unusually mild, wet winter was followed by a dry, sunny spring. Summer was notable for abundant rainfall in July and August, two months of contrasting temperatures. September brought a return to normal, with favorable climatic conditions for harvest. The grapes were healthy and picked at the point of perfect ripeness. The resulting clear wines were powerful and complex with subtle overtones of fruit.

A pale gold, clear and luminous, like the rising sun. Delicate aromas of fruit – vine peach and poached pear – and linden and hawthorn blossom. Notes of juicy vine peach lend a fine texture, complemented by poached pear and tangy rhubarb. A combination of freshness, balance and tension. A rare and harmonious champagne.

93 Points - Wine Spectator

An elegant Champagne, with a satinlike mousse, offering a bright burst of Meyer lemoninfused acidity as a backbone for finely meshed notes of poached apricot and pear, brioche, candied ginger and chopped almond. Pretty and floral on the finish. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Drink now through 2035.
