{"product_id":"2016-champagne-perrier-jouet-belle-epoque","title":"2016, Champagne Perrier-Jouët, Belle Epoque","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHow it tastes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRipe, juicy pear with a flicker of grapefruit and lime, then delicate green pepper and ginger that resolve into a subtle salinity. The attack is generous and lively, the texture lush and creamy, with linden blossom, mandarin and grapefruit zest carrying a long, caressing finish — 50% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir, 5% Pinot Meunier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in Epernay in 1811, Perrier-Jouët farms 108 hectares in the heart of Champagne. Belle Epoque was created in 1964 after Pierre Ernst found an original 1902 Émile Gallé Art Nouveau bottle; a master glass-maker reproduced its raised enamel anemones and it has been the house signature since. The Pinot Noir comes from two chalky crus in the north of the Montagne de Reims, Verzy and Mailly-Champagne, chosen for elegance and finesse to sit beneath Grand Cru Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs rather than overwhelm it. Gently pressed in a pneumatic press, vinified by the traditional method and aged at least five years in the cellar under cellar master Hervé Deschamps, with a low dosage of nine grams per litre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood with seafood, rich and creamy dishes and poultry and pork. Built for the long term — decades, if kept well. No need to decant; serve at 10°C. Not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Perrier-Jouët","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55718589071743,"sku":"HNW-6145616A","price":221.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4192\/4998\/files\/2015_ChampagnePerrier-Jouet_BelleEpoque.png?v=1755807133","url":"https:\/\/www.edkawines.com\/products\/2016-champagne-perrier-jouet-belle-epoque","provider":"Edka Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
