Perrier-Jouet Belle Epoque Rose 2012 1.5L Magnum

Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Rosé 2012 is an iconic prestige cuvée Champagne of extraordinary elegance, finesse, and complexity. Presenting a luminous pale salmon-pink hue with copper highlights in the glass, it opens with a delicate and refined bouquet of wild strawberries, red currant, white peach, and orange blossom, layered with nuances of warm brioche, pink grapefruit, and subtle mineral flint. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, precise, and beautifully balanced, featuring a silky, fine-grained mousse. Vibrant natural acidity frames rich flavors of fresh red berries, candied citrus, and subtle baking spice, culminating in a long, crisp, and mouthwatering saline finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs magnificently with pan-seared duck breast with cherry reduction, roasted wild salmon, butter-poached lobster, fresh langoustines, and delicate berry tartlets.

This has complex notes of praline, beeswax, raspberries, oyster shells, grapefruit and apricot tarts. Elegant and thoughtfully integrated, with very fine and silky bubbles alongside intense yet delicate layers. Long and saline at the end. Drink now.
