  January 8, 2024 - I got to this bottle very late unfortunately. Pretty fruit forward for a Brut in my opinion but the few wines I have had from P. Jouet have been a bit fruit forward I got to this after the carbonation was no longer!! unfortunately. Good minerality still an a good backbone supports this wine. Good acidity also. Wish I could’ve got to this while it was fresh. Still a good drinking wine. And dEf still enjoyed drinking it despite “no bubbles”

  December 6, 2023 - Blind, from MAG. This was very popular at the table tonight, most preople preferred this over the also stunning Grand Siecle #26, which was more expressive and my favorite. The 2012 Belle Epoque has enormous precision on the palate, fine perlage. Nose of citrus some brioche, holding back still. So much delineation and poise. Clearly too young. Drink after 2030. 96+

  October 7, 2023 - I have fond memories of the 1985 and then 1988 vintages of this champagne, back when I first learnt to love this champagne! The subsequent vintages, probably owing to my own evolution, seem disappointing in comparison, but of course are still excellent, just perhaps no longer my favourite, other than for sentimental reasons. They seem to be released close to 10 years after the vintage and I would not suggest keeping them much longer before drinking.

  September 28, 2023 - Still a little closed and youthful, very good freshness and volume here. The Rosé was more expressive today. This will be great though with a little more time as well.
