  March 29, 2024 - I recall thinking this is a pretty bottle and avoiding it because I thought you’re paying for the label artwork. I was wrong.
  This is actually a really good champagne. Drinking much better than last time (maybe a year ago?).
  I actually think this a good value, despite the 3 figure price tag. The

  March 2, 2024 - The 2014 iteration of Belle Epoque is a light golden blend of 50% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Meunier. Sporting a brisk tiny bead and creamy, vibrant mousse, it delivers an aromatic array of honeycrisp apples, Anjou pears, white peaches, marzipan, brioche and jasmine. The flavors mirror the nose, packaged in a racy, medium-to-full-bodied frame. Dense in the middle and lengthy on the mineral-laden back end, Perrier-Jouët has knocked it out of the park with this impressive tête de cuvée. Well-cellared bottles should age gracefully. Drink now-2039.

  February 19, 2024 - bright straw with gold hue, vibrant fine bubbles. ripe stone fruits, some herbals and tropical fruits. some brioche, juicy and a concentrated core with a little sweetness. creamy and smooth texture, firm and solid acidity forming a strong backbone, make this vintage one different from the NV brut. long finish with fruity and mineral notes. a beautiful sparkling.

  December 29, 2023 - Tasting session. Another good showing of this. Expressive and complex nose. Chardonnay led aromatics, lemon peel, white flowers and autolytic notes.
