Perrier-Jouet
The 'prestige' cuvée here is the lavishly bottled Belle
Époque, complete with its enamelled anemones designed by Gallé, which appear in
vintage, rose, and vintage Blanc de Blancs guises. The latter is a palpable
champagne de terroir, coming exclusively from Cremant; the other two are
graceful blends built on Chardonnay from Cremant complemented by lighter
Pinots.
