"The 2013 Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rose is an elegant Champagne blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier that presents a shimmering salmon-pink hue with orange highlights. The nose is highly aromatic, featuring delicate notes of strawberry, peony, kumquat, and white currant complemented by a hint of toasted brioche. On the palate, this vintage offers a harmonious balance of pink grapefruit and mandarin flavors supported by a fine, silky mousse and a persistent mineral finish. Crafted only in exceptional years, this rare and sophisticated cuvée is presented in an iconic hand-painted bottle and pairs beautifully with salmon, duck breast, or lobster."

THE FULL TASTING NOTE

Nose

Strawberry, peony, kumquat, and white currant with a hint of toasted brioche — delicate, floral, unmistakably Belle Epoque.

Palate

Harmonious pink grapefruit and mandarin on a fine, silky mousse; the cool 2013 season gives it lacy precision rather than weight.

Finish

Persistent and mineral, citrus blossom fading with grace.

What we love

  • The floral, anemone-painted bottle contains a rosĂ© as elegant as its packaging promises
  • The late-harvest 2013 vintage delivers rare freshness for a prestige rosĂ©
  • Made only in exceptional years — genuine vintage scarcity

What to know

  • Delicacy is the point: those wanting vinous, Pinot-driven power should look to Dom PĂ©rignon instead
  • $250 partially funds the iconic bottle — the wine inside competes with cheaper vintage rosĂ©s

The two prestige rosĂ©s in our cellar are stylistic opposites: the Dom PĂ©rignon 2009 is warm-vintage flesh and saffron depth; the Belle Epoque 2013 is cool-vintage lace and florals. Powerful versus pretty — both exceptional. Read that review →
