2012 Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque
Buying options
Tasting notes
The 2012 Brut Belle Époque Blanc de Blancs from Perrier-Jouët is a real success, wafting from the glass with aromas of white fruits, ripe orchard fruits, spring flowers, almonds and citrus oil. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, it’s charming and concentrated with a fleshy core of fruit and a long, vibrant and mineral-chalky finish that should guarantee its graceful evolution in the cellar. Dosage: six grams per liter.

A very complex and toasty nose with nicely cut, autolytic, reductive kick that adds flinty notes to the lemons and pink grapefruit, as well as fresh, lightly spiced pastry. The palate has a super fluid and attractively fresh feel with a bold, sweetly fruited core that delivers a long, succulent and elegant finish. This is in form! Drink or hold.
