Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque 1996 Champagne

Perrier Jouet Vintage Champagne 1996

A fabulous bottle

presents this delicate fresh champagne. Its deliciously rich while remaining light, full of fruit and very elegant.

The colour is a greenish-gold, reflecting a magnificent, crystalline brightness. The wine presents an intense, strong effervescence, with fine and regular bubbles.

A reflection of the seasons, with soft notes of white flowers, honey and lemon married with the aromas of fresh fruits of plums and pineapple.

The flavour confirms the richness of the bouquet; initial freshness, light but strong and lively, with some subtle notes of honey and vanilla.

Champagne Grape Blend:

50% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir, 5% Pinot Meunier

Features:

The cuvée is distinguished by a high proportion of Chardonnay from the best slopes in the Côte des Blancs district. The delicacy and elegance of this grape variety give a finesse, a fruitiness and a bouquet that is truly exceptional.

Vintage Year:

"The harvest is sometimes so outstanding that Perrier-Jouët decides to make a vintage Cuvée Fleur de Champagne. 1996 was one such year, when the quality of the grapes signalled a remarkable harvest from the outset. All the art of champagne making went into keeping the house style while bringing out the exceptional character of the year." - Perrier Jouet
