Unique\nbottle, decorated with white anemones, the work of 1902 by the master of Art\nNouveau, Emile Gall\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nfirst Cuv\u00e9e Belle Epoque dates back to the 1964 vintage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This\nchampagne is characterized by fine and elegant bubbles, by the variety of\naromas, including white floral ones and by the delicacy of its structure. This\nis what it has always been, but with the 2013 vintage something seems to have\nchanged, perhaps limited to this vintage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nBelle Epoque is made from Pinot Noir grapes from Verzy and Mailly. The Chardonnay\nis from the Villages of Cramant and Avize and the Pinot Meunier grapes are from\nDizy. This vintage is the work of the new chef de Cave S\u00e9verine Frerson, who\ntook over from Herv\u00e9 Deschamps who assisted her, before leaving the Maison, for\nthe planned handover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This\nvintage has surprised everyone a little, being accustomed with the Belle Epoque\nto fine, delicate champagnes, directed more on elegance than on power. An\nexample are the very pleasant 2008 and 2012 and if we want also 2011, the\nlatter rich in greater freshness but with less structure than the first two\nvintages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\nam going to write my tasting notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maison\nPerriet Jou\u00ebt Belle Epoque, vintage 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Grapes:\n50% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Meunier)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n From\nthe glass it shines a light golden yellow and the bubbles are quite fine and\nnumerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nose\noverflowing and varied with aromas of intense flint, cedar peel, iodine, salt,\nripe leg pear, mint, light ginger, rubber, lime blossom, green banana peel, red\napple peel, pink pepper, white pepper . The olfactory path continues with notes\nof hard candy of raspberry, vanilla, intense graphite, blond leather, to finish\nwith puffs of chalk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On\nthe palate it is sapid and mineral and the bubbles are fine and pleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Flavors\nreminiscent of intense pear juice, lemon and yellow grapefruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nbody is well present and is much higher than in the 2008, 2011 and 2012\nvintages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Freshness\ndominates, without second thoughts, the alcoholic mass, making the wine\nperfectly balanced. Its gustative persistence is long with a ripe banana\nfinish. On the upper gum I felt a little bit of the taste of green banana peel.\nThe freshness is very long and the mineral note is more present than in other\nvintages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With regard to the greater structure, this may depend on the fact that the 2013 vintage tended to be warmer with more ripe grapes at the time of harvest. (98\/100)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chef\nde Cave S\u00e9verine Frerson in relation to 2013 expressed herself as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I\nassociate Perrier Jou\u00ebt Belle Epoque with white orchids, which are also my\nfavorite flower. For me this cuv\u00e9e has the same combination of grace and\nelegance, delicacy and vivacity, together with the solid structure of a white\norchid”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\ncompletely agree with the opinion expressed by the new Chef de Cave S\u00e9verine\nFrerson regarding the 2013 vintage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Unique bottle, decorated with white anemones, the work of 1902 by the master of Art Nouveau, Emile Gall\u00e9.
