Perrier-Jouet Description
****Naked Bottle = No gift box/bag****
97 Points Fallstaff
Bright, light green-yellow, silver-colored reflections, very fine, persistent mousse. Mineral nuances, fine touch of vineyard peach, a touch of almonds and citrus zest, white flowers in the background, very complex bouquet. Complex, powerful, full-bodied white pome fruit, lively acid core, velvety texture on the palate, fine fruit sweetness, underlined with salty-peppery aspects in the finale, shows length and development potential.

THE EYE: Bright, shimmering gold with subtle glints of green. Exceptionally fine bubbles.
THE NOSE: Aromas of white flowers with subtle overtones of honey, pear, pineapple and candied lemon.
THE PALATE: Crisp and fresh in the mouth. Full and rich, with a long, silken, elegant finish.
Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
In the soft style that is the hallmark of Belle Epoque, this Champagne is very accessible and beautifully textured. It is a fine wine, balanced and poised between fruit and yeasty maturity.
