Description
The richness and refinement of a limited edition rosé champagne
The producer
The Perrier-Jouët Champagne House was founded by Pierre Perrier and his wife Adèle Jouët in 1811. Produced from exceptional Champagne terroirs (Aÿ, Mailly-Champagne, Avize and Cramant), the house's wines are renowned for their unique style which combines aromatic richness, refinement and finesse. From 1861, Perrier-Jouët became Queen Victoria’s official champagne, then that of the French Imperial Court.
Owned by the Champagne Company, GH Mumm, since 1959, Perrier-Jouët's uniqueness lies in its iconic cuvée's prestigious "Belle Epoque" bottle, designed by Emile Gallé in 1969.
The vineyard
A perfect expression of the House's style and the fruit of the most harmonious blend, Perrier-Jouët's Belle Époque Rosé is made from emblematic Champagne crus (Cramant, Avize, Chouilly, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Vertus and Mailly).
The wine
The bottle of Perrier-Jouët's Belle Époque Rosé 2013 is adorned with a white Japanese anemone, a design created in 1902 by Émile Gallé, an Art Nouveau master.
In 2022, Perrier-Jouët commissioned two Austrian designers, Katharina Mischer and Thomas Traxler, to celebrate the 120th anniversary of this emblematic design. This collaboration resulted in a limited-edition box showcasing a layering of 70 different species that thrive in the Champagne vineyards, revealing an elegant and creative metamorphosis of this iconic design.
Vinification and ageing
A small proportion of Pinot Noir is vinified in red by macerating the clear juice with its skins. This vintage champagne is aged for a minimum of 6 years in the chalky cellars of the house.
