Tasting Notes

In the glass, the Champagne displays a pale golden color, luminous and crystalline, enhancing its purity. The bubbles are fine, elegant, and persistent, creating a lively dance that anticipates the freshness of the sip. On the nose, the bouquet is rich and complex, with delicate notes of white flowers, such as acacia and jasmine, intertwined with hints of fresh fruit, such as peach and citrus. These fragrances are accompanied by a hint of brioche and almond, a sign of the aging on the lees. As it ages in the glass, light mineral nuances and a touch of vanilla also emerge, adding depth to the aromatic profile.

On the palate, Perrier-Jouët Champagne Brut “Belle Epoque” is fresh and lively, with an elegant and refined body. The freshness of the Chardonnay blends perfectly with the fullness of the Pinot Noir, creating a perfect balance between vivacity and complexity. The wine is rich and creamy, with a fine texture and a light minerality that enriches its profile and increases its persistence. The finish is long, fresh, and pleasantly fruity, with a delicacy that makes every sip irresistible.

Pairings

Perrier-Jouët Champagne Brut “Belle Epoque” is the perfect accompaniment to refined and sophisticated dishes. Ideal as an aperitif, it pairs beautifully with oysters, caviar, or raw fish dishes, such as tuna tartare or salmon carpaccio. Its freshness and delicacy also make it an ideal accompaniment to cooked fish dishes, such as grilled shrimp, lobster, or seafood risotto. It also pairs well with white meat dishes, such as roast chicken or duck breast, and with fresh, creamy cheeses, such as Brie, Camembert, or goat cheese. It also pairs beautifully with delicate truffle-based dishes or richer dishes, such as vegetable risottos or mushroom-based dishes.
