Belle Epoque Rosé 2014 - Fleur de Champagne - Perrier-Jouet

Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Rosé 2014 - An Ode to Nature and Gastronomy

The Art of Blending: The Belle Époque Rosé cuvée is one of the rarest and most sought-after expressions of the House of Perrier-Jouët. For this 2014 vintage, the Cellar Master crafted a wine of remarkable precision, using the best terroirs of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims to create a rosé of structure and finesse.

A Vintage of Contrasts and Purity

The year 2014 in Champagne was marked by a radiant spring followed by a cool and rainy summer, before a providential September. This cycle allowed the Chardonnay to retain crystalline acidity and the Pinot Noir to develop an aromatic palette of red fruits of great purity. The result is a balanced wine, with a tension that guarantees excellent aging potential.

Technical Details and Winemaking

• Blend: A base of Chardonnay (approximately 50%) for freshness and elegance, complemented by 45% Pinot Noir.
• The Rosé Signature: The color and structure come from the addition of approximately 11% still red wines, from Pinot Noir parcels selected for their tannic finesse.
• Dosage: A moderate dosage (8g/l) that respects the purity of the vintage while providing a silky texture on the palate.

Sensory Profile: A Bouquet of Flowers and Fruits

• Color: A pale salmon pink, with light copper reflections, of great brilliance.
• Nose: A floral explosion typical of the house (peony, rose), followed by gourmet notes of wild strawberry, fresh raspberry, and a hint of pink citrus.
• Palate: The attack is lively and fresh. The wine unfolds with a delicate texture and a persistent finish, marked by a subtle chalky minerality.

Storage and Bottle Condition

This bottle of Belle Époque Rosé 2014 is presented in impeccable condition. Stored in a natural cellar away from light, the label adorned with Émile Gallé's famous anemones is intact. It is a masterpiece for any connoisseur of "flower wines" seeking a mature and brilliant vintage.

WUAT's Opinion

The Belle Époque Rosé 2014 is much more than a "beautiful bottle." It is a great terroir wine that expresses itself wonderfully at the table. We recommend serving it with roasted lobster, seared salmon, or even lightly spiced Asian fusion cuisine. It is absolute French elegance, captured in a vintage that shines with its harmony.
