Perrier-Jouet Rose Belle Epoque 2013
$325.00
True to the free spirit of Maison Perrier-Jouet, Perrier-Jouet Belle Epoque Rosé is a resolutely original champagne which combines rarity with the ability to surprise. First created in 1978 and crafted only in exceptional years, and produced in extremely limited quantities. Perrier-Jouet Belle Epoque Rose is a fascinating Cuvee, subtle and delicate, yet warm and embracing as if it were wrapping you in silk.
96 Points – James Suckling
Very pretty aromas with peach and crabapple characters, cotton candy and light nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied with fantastic bubbles that run the length of the wine and persist. Fine and beautiful. Ultra-complex and refined.
95 Points – Wine Enthusiast
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.
93 Points – Wine Spectator
This rich rosé Champagne is aromatic and minerally on the nose, with smoke and oyster shell notes that transition to accent the palate’s baked white peach, grilled plum, toasted brioche and lemon curd flavors. Bright, with well-honed acidity and a crisp, lacy texture. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Drink now through 2033.
92 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
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.
