Brilliant pale gold. Very enticing toasted nose with a touch of almond and dried fruits. Really full palate with lots of perfume and drive. A fresh, aromatic Champagne with very pleasant toast characters. Suitable for an elaborate aperitif.
Reviews:
- Wine Advocate: The 2012 Brut Rosé Belle Epoque is showing very well and must rank as one of the finest recent releases of this Chardonnay-based prestige cuvée from Perrier-Jouët. Offering up a pretty bouquet of white peach, spring flowers, strawberry, freshly baked bread and warm biscuits, it’s medium to full-bodied, elegant and seamless, its delicately fleshy core underpinned by lively acids and complemented by a beautifully refined mousse.
- Wine Spectator: Smoky notes of toasted brioche play off of minerally accents of oyster shell and wet chalk on the nose and palate of this rich rosé Champagne. Meshed with a spine of lively acidity and a juicy profile of nectarine, raspberry and Mandarin orange fruit flavors, this is long and creamy on the well-spiced finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.
