A bottle like this, impossible not to notice. We are of course talking about Belle époque, Cuvée de prestige from Maison Perrier-Jouët. Its history goes as far back as 1902, when the maison asked Emile Gallé, a glassmaker and decorator, to embellish the glass of the bottle intended for a new Cuvée. A wine that was supposed to celebrate the happy historical period they were living, the Belle époque precisely. The artist decorated the bottle with white anemones, but for various reasons they were not used for more than 60 years. They were revived only in 1964, when Chef de Cave André Bavaret, decided to bottle the iconic Cuvée precisely in a bottle decorated in such an original way. Since then the Belle époque has been a symbol of Champagne and Maison Perrier-Jouët's most prestigious wine. Chardonnay 50%, Pinot Noir 45% and Pinot Meunier 5%, Belle époque rests in the Maison's cellars for at least five years. The 2013 vintage proves to be an elegant and exciting Champagne, characterized by a beautiful clear gold color with subtle greenish reflections. On the nose, notes of white flowers combined with white peach, crisp pear and citrus. In the mouth it is very fresh, with a lingering and harmonious finish. Try it with a risotto with porcini mushrooms, as well as with classic shellfish and seafood.
It belongs to the elite of the Champagne Maisons. Perrier-Jouët, founded in 1811, is one of the region's most iconic Maisons. Its vineyards extend from the Côte des Blancs, to Reims and up to the Vallée de la Marne. They include, as they should, the three classic grape varieties of the region, from Pinot Noir to Meunier, but especially Chardonnay, which plays a very important role in Perrier-Jouët's production, in almost every cuvée. Another peculiarity of the Maison concerns the figure of the Chef de Cave who, in more than two hundred years of history, has seen "only" eight. Hervé Deschamps, for example, at the helm of the winery since 1993, underwent a 10-year apprenticeship alongside his predecessor before becoming "tenured." In October 2020, after nearly 30 vintages, Deschamps finally passed the baton to Séverine Frerson, the first woman to hold this position in the history of the Maison. After all, to carry out this difficult task in the best possible way, the Chef de Cave must not only be a great technician but must also have a perfect knowledge of all the crus, grapes and blends in order to be able to give birth, year after year, to wines characterized by a clearly recognizable stylistic figure.
