Description

True to the free spirit of Maison Perrier-Jouët, Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rosé is a resolutely original champagne which combines rarity with the ability to surprise. First created in 1978, it is crafted only in exceptional years and produced in extremely limited quantities.

"Like all our vintage cuvées, Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rosé needs to be enjoyed in a leisurely manner,” says Séverine Frerson. “I would savour it with a meal, in a warm, convivial ambiance that reflects its character.” Ideal pairings include salmon or tuna cooked on one side only, salmon with cranberry sauce, pigeon or thinly sliced duck breast.

"Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rosé is a fascinating cuvée – subtle and delicate, yet also warm and embracing, as if it were wrapping you in silk."
SÉVERINE FRERSON, Maison Perrier-Jouët Cellar Master

Beautiful pale orangy colour. The nose delivers a mix of toast and citrus fruits. Wonderfully textured, very elegant palate with the same aromas becoming more powerful through to the finish. This is a rosé Champagne for fine dining pairing with sweetbreads.

This is an iconic rosé, clean and pure with its light color and textured, structured fruits. It has plenty of the perfumed character and the mineral acidity to balance hints of fresh-baked bread and spice. Drink from 2025.
