The all-chardonnay version of Perrier-Jouët's legendary Belle Epoque cuvée. This comes from the excellent 2012 vintage. Not only is the wine absolutely superb but it comes in a beautiful bottle and presentation case, adorned with a 1902 floral design from master of Art Nouveau Émile Gallé. Ooh la la!
White peaches, lemons, green apples, mouthwatering acidity with slight chalkiness followed by layers of almond, cinnamon, brioche and almond. Very long and complex.
