The Perrier Jouët Belle Epoque Champagne Brut 2016 is an exceptionally elegant vintage champagne that embodies the unmistakable signature of the traditional Perrier Jouët house in Reims. This iconic cuvée – renowned for its artfully painted ‘Anemone’ bottle by Émile Gallé – epitomises harmony, finesse and floral elegance. Blended from the noble grape varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, this champagne reflects the very essence of the house: pure, precise aromas and the finest structure.


The 2016 vintage in Champagne was characterised by a cool spring and a warm summer, which gave the grapes optimal ripeness and balance. Following a meticulous hand-harvest and traditional bottle fermentation, the Belle Epoque matures on its lees for several years, developing its remarkable complexity, creaminess and finesse. This vintage epitomises the perfect fusion of viticultural artistry and timeless elegance that has defined Perrier Jouët since 1811.
