Perrier-Jouet Champagne Grand Brut NV ($49.95) $28 / bottle SOLD OUT
Wine Enthusiast 93 points “This is what you expect a prestige Champagne to look, smell and taste like. Poised and stylish, it layers sharp citrus fruit with spicy wood and light toast. Layers of citrus, tangerine and flower blossoms unfold elegantly; lime and grapefruit accents add interest, and above all it comports itself with impeccable balance, precision and grace.”
Vinopolnotes The ever popular PJ has been among Champagne’s icons for at least 15 decades; but in fact are currently celebrating their 201st birthday. They released their first bottle in 1811, a year after Pierre Nicolas Perrier and Rose Adélaїde Jouët were married. They are a fixture on the Avenue de Champagne in Epernay. In fact, in 1854 was they first house to release a dry (brut) Champagne, inaugurating Champagne as we best know it today.
Perrier-Jouet Cuvee Belle Epoque 2004 ($149.95) $89 / bottle SOLD OUT
Wine Spectator 92 points “Elegant, with lovely texture and focused, lively acidity. Flavors of currant, candied lemon zest, honey and white peach lead to the creamy, biscuit-tinged finish.”
Josh Raynolds 91 points “Light, bright gold. Spicy citrus and pit fruits on the nose, complicated by ginger, toasted grain and a touch of honey. A sappy, somewhat hefty Champagne whose juicy pear, peach and candied orange flavors are lifted by gentle acidity. The pear and orange notes repeat on the nicely persistent, toasty finish.”
Antonio Galloni “The 2004 Brut Cuvee Belle Epoque is a graceful, effortless wine. A sweet, floral bouquet melds into expressive fruit in this refreshing, vibrant Champagne. Crisp green pears, jasmine and apples are some of the notes that linger on the crisp, well-articulated finish. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2019.”
