Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque Rose Brut Champagne 2013

98 Points Bottle Price: Varies

"Exquisite bubbles with a vibrant floral finish."

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.
