THE YEAR

The winter of 2010 was relentless and was followed by a hot spring and summer. August brought abundant rainfall, and more rain during the harvest undermined the quality of the grapes. Maison Perrier-Jouët undertook a rigorous selection and devoted the best of the harvest to Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rosé, a cuvée whose style was favoured by the conditions, and the only one for which it declared a vintage. Characterised by remarkable vinosity, this is thus a particularly rare cuvée from one of the few champagne houses to produce a 2010 vintage.

FLORAL. EXTRAVAGANT.

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. The most delicate expression of the Perrier-Jouët house style, cuvée Belle Epoque Rosé boasts an expert balance of floral and fruity notes, which will be unveiled to perfection by contrasting flavours.

The Eye: A pale apricot colour shot through with bright glints, and alive with fine and constant bubbles.

The Nose: Pronounced, fragrant aromas of white flowers and wild strawberry.

The Palate: A wonderfully fresh and lively wine with a long, lingering finish

Grape: 45% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir, 5% Pinot Meunier

Ideal Pairings: Lobster, Red Lentils, Fig
