"Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque is a true icon — a rare and elegant champagne that celebrates the art of vintage and the excellence of the Perrier-Jouët vineyard. A pale, translucent gold, with radiant clarity and subtle glints of apple green. An impression of freshness and delicacy, with distinctive aromas of white fruit and flowers. An exceptional combination of freshness and finesse." - House Notes
"Not that much on the nose yet but very tight and tense. This is obviously going to age well and is only at the very start of its drinking window. There's a certain citrus note and a vague wash of salinity on the finish. Masses of acidity and it seems drier and more energetic than many earlier Belle Epoque bottlings. Good, deep finish with conviction." - 17+/20 Points, Jancis Robinson MW
"A giving, demonstrative wine that bursts from the glass with scents of mirabelle plum, confit citrus, buttery pastry and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and charming, it's seamless and elegant, with a pinpoint mousse and a fleshy core of fruit that's amplified by enough dosage to be noticeable. A touch finer-boned than the similarly successful 2012, it constitutes another fine effort from this house." - 93 Points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate
