Belle Epoque Champagne – Iconic Prestige Champagne from Perrier-Jouët

At Ludv. Bjørns Vinhandel, you will find an exclusive selection of Belle Epoque Champagne from Maison Perrier-Jouët. A champagne that, for decades, has been synonymous with elegance, art, gastronomy, and luxury.

Belle Epoque is produced only in particularly successful vintages and ranks among the Champagne region's most coveted prestige cuvées.

The history of Belle Epoque

Perrier-Jouët was founded in Épernay in 1811 by Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Rose Adélaïde Jouët. The house quickly became known for its elegant and floral style, which remains the foundation for all Perrier-Jouët champagnes.

In 1902, Art Nouveau artist Émile Gallé created a decoration with Japanese anemones for a few specially commissioned magnum bottles. The design was later rediscovered and became the symbol of Belle Epoque, which was launched as a prestige cuvée with the 1964 vintage.

Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Brut

Belle Epoque Brut is the house's signature edition and is primarily made from Chardonnay, supplemented by Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The style is elegant, harmonious, and complex, with notes of white flowers, citrus, peach, pear, and brioche.

It is a Champagne that combines freshness and finesse with impressive depth and significant aging potential.

Belle Epoque Rosé

Belle Epoque Rosé is among the world's most sought-after rosé champagnes. It combines the house's floral elegance with ripe red berries, citrus, and spices.

The rosé is particularly well-suited for gastronomy and pairs excellently with shellfish, fish, sushi, and light meat.

Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs

Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs is produced exclusively from Chardonnay and is considered by many to be the ultimate interpretation of the house's elegant style. Production is very limited, and none of the versions are produced in large quantities.

The champagne offers a silky texture, great minerality, and complex aromas of flowers, citrus, and ripe fruit.

Art and Champagne

Belle Epoque is unique among prestige champagnes in being so closely connected to the art world. The famous anemone bottle has become one of the most recognizable symbols in the entire wine world and reflects Perrier-Jouët's close connection to the Art Nouveau movement.

Belle Epoque and Gastronomy

Belle Epoque is among the most gastronomic prestige champagnes on the market. Its elegant style makes it ideal for lobster, oysters, scallops, turbot, and other refined dishes.

It also works excellently as an aperitif for special occasions.
