Perrier-Jouët’s is the signature champagne of One & Only Resorts Hayman Island and QT Hotels nationally, as well as Australian restaurants Icebergs Dining Room + Bar, Guillaume, Café Sydney, and Vue De Monde.
La Belle Epoque, which roughly translates to ‘the beautiful age/period’, is named after the golden age in France – the late 19th century – and is instantly recognisable by it’s striking hand-painted bottle.
The Champagne itself is the work of respected Chef de Caves Herve Deschamps, who said of the 2007 Belle Epoque; “It is a crystalline vintage whose subtlety and generosity highlight the precision of the Belle Epoque signature style. It is an epicurean wine. It reflects the Perrier-Jouët Art of Vintage and is the result of a unique and astonishing year, marked by a very mild winter and an exceptional spring.”
The 2007 Belle Epoque cuvée comprises 50% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noirs and just 5% Pinot Meunier; adding ripe fruit aromas and extra roundness to the finishing touch of the final cuvée. The wine is aged for six years in Perrier-Jouët cellars before disgorgement and is then given a light dosage of 9g/L.
