At Maison Perrier-Jouët, we believe it allstarts with a flower, a symbol that embodies the close relationship the Househas maintained with biodiversity since its creation in 1811.
Widely renowned for their expertise inhorticulture and botany, Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and his son Charles pioneered anumber of innovative ideas in the field of natural viticulture and vineyardmanagement. Charles Perrier was a great believer in simple methods such as theuse of steam to combat woodworm. He also published a treatise on how to dealwith vine parasites. Charles also championed a very specific pruning technique,designed to protect the vines from frost.
His passion is still alive today, incitingMaison Perrier-Jouët to constantly re-examine the complex web of relationswhich link all of the many species that make up the Champagne ecosystem.
Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque is the originalBelle Époque vintage cuvée, first appearing in 1964. Instantly recognisablethroughout the world, its bottle is adorned with the graceful spray of Japanesewhite anemones created for Maison Perrier-Jouët by Art Nouveau master EmileGallé in 1902.

Very pretty aromas with peach and crabapple character, as well as cotton candy and light nutmeg. Medium-to full-bodied with very fine bubbles that run the length of the wine and persist. Really fine and beautiful. Ultra-complex and refined.

This famed Champagne in its Belle Epoque flower label remains a very fine wine. This latest release is still in its vibrant fruit stage, showing no signs of aging. The hints of strawberries are balanced against the fine texture. The wine is ready to drink.

The 2013 Brut Rosé Belle Epoque is turning out very well with a delicate, floral bouquet of peach, spring flowers, strawberries and almonds. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and elegant with a delicate mid-palate, it’s fresh and slightly tannic with a mineral, mouthwatering finish. This is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 45% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Meunier with a dosage of nine grams per liter.
