The Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Champagne Brut 2016 is an exceptionally elegant vintage champagne that embodies the unmistakable signature of the traditional house of Perrier-Jouët in Reims. This iconic cuvée - known for its artistically painted "Anemone" bottle by Emile Gallé - stands for harmony, finesse and floral elegance. Composed of the noble grape varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, this champagne reflects the quintessence of the house: pure, precise flavours and the finest structure.


The 2016 vintage was characterised by a cool spring and warm summer in Champagne, which gave the grapes optimum ripeness and balance. After careful hand-picking and traditional bottle fermentation, the Belle Epoque matures on the lees for several years, developing its remarkable complexity, creaminess and finesse. This vintage is emblematic of the perfect combination of winemaking expertise and timeless elegance that has characterised Perrier Jouët since 1811.
