In December 2017, the Champagne house Perrier-Jouët released its new vintage, 'Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque 2011.' This commemorative Champagne is crafted from grapes harvested in 2011, the 200th anniversary year of the house's founding.

A New Vintage Born from the Contrasting Weather of 2011
Founded in 1811, Perrier-Jouët is a venerable maison that upholds tradition and craftsmanship. Its delicate, elegant taste and the exquisite anemone motif by Émile Gallé adorning the bottle have earned it the title 'the art of Champagne.'
Among its offerings, 'Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque' is a Champagne of exceptional quality, produced only in years when the grapes are particularly outstanding. 'Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque 2011,' made exclusively from the superb grapes of the favorable 2011 vintage, embodies the Perrier-Jouët style with its balance, structure, and freshness.
Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards in Cramant and Avize imparts freshness and elegance, while Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims contributes richness and delicate complexity. The mellow charm of Pinot Meunier from Dizy further perfects the cuvée's balance.
The cuvée, with its delicate bubbles shimmering in a pale gold hue, offers a lasting floral aroma reminiscent of acacia and linden blossoms, alongside fresh notes of pear and white peach, which gradually evolve into the fragrance of candied citrus peel.
The palate begins with a powerful impression, followed by a surprisingly persistent freshness of white fruits and a mineral finish. Experience the exquisite harmony of vitality, crispness, and smoothness.
