The most delicate expression of the Perrier-Jouët house style, cuvée Belle Epoque Rosé boasts an expert balance of floral and fruity notes, which will be unveiled to perfection by contrasting flavours. Its refinement will be perfectly expressed with shellfish.

As a dessert, the sweetness of panna cotta lifted by the acidity of a blood orange and pink grapefruit echo the multi-sensorial experience evoked by this cuvée.

Serving suggestions: The Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rosé cuvée boasts an expert balance of floral and fruity notes, which will be unveiled to perfection by contrasting flavours.

Vinification details: Hervé Deschamps has hand-crafted this wine to achieve the perfect balance between the generous characteristics of the 2006 vintage and the consistency of the Perrier-Jouët house style. With grapes sourced from the best terroirs, the Chardonnays (50%) bring elegance and floral freshness to the blend, the richness of the Pinot Noirs (45%), and rounded aromas of red fruits from the Pinot Meuniers (5%). With six years ageing in the cellars the wine has developed into a delicate, yet intense, rich and voluptuous wine; this is a cuvée that provokes thoughtful contemplation to appreciate each nuance.
