This elegant wine shows beautiful precision to the texture, with harmonious notes of lemon blossom, patisserie apple, vanilla-tinged brioche and savory mineral. Lovely for its subtlety and overall grace. Drink now through 2025. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 100 cases imported

The 2002 Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvee Belle Epoque is a striking Champagne endowed with considerable power and richness in its exuberant fruit. The wine blossoms on the plate with tons of richness and a broad, expansive voice to the fruit that is quite beautiful. A long, creamy finish layered with tropical fruit rounds things out nicely. This is easily one of the most memorable Champagnes I have tasted from Perrier-Jouet in some time. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2022
Producer
Perrier-Jouët
Perhaps the most recognizable bottles in the appellation, Perrier-Jouët’s painted Belle Époque labels can be instantly identified by their flowery Art Nouveau embellishments. The marriage of Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Adèle Jouët in 1811 set the stage for the now 200-year-old Maison Perrier Jouët. Currently owned by the Pernod Ricard group, the Champagne House is historically known for being one of the pioneers that led to the world’s first Brut in 1856. Today, the dryer styled Grand Brut exemplifies the classic house spirit, with a floral, elegant and structured Champagne. Widely acclaimed for its Belle Époque, and not only for the wines’ decorated bottles, but for its impressive tightly wound style of a Chardonnay-based Champagne. Characterized by the large presence of Chardonnay, the maison also produces a compelling Brut Rosé, and a delicate Belle Époque Rosé.
