The wine

Description and technical sheet

With Belle Epoque Brut 2016, Perrier-Jouët brings together two hallmarks of its style: the delicate floral expression of Chardonnay and the refined structure of Pinot Noir. This is a Champagne made from a single harvest, rather than a non-vintage blend, and its careful balance makes it as appealing alongside food as it is for a special toast.

The 2016 vintage and the art of blending

A hot, dry summer in Champagne helped the grapes reach a favourable balance between ripeness and acidity in 2016. The blend is 50% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir and 5% Meunier. Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs provides the House's distinctive finesse, while Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims, particularly Mailly-Champagne, adds elegant structure. Perrier-Jouët identifies Cramant, Avize, Chouilly, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Vertus and Mailly among the emblematic crus.

Extended cellar ageing and a floral signature

Made by the traditional Champagne method, the 2016 cuvée spends at least six years ageing in the House's cellars and has a dosage of 8 g/l. Perrier-Jouët describes a golden hue, aromas of flowers, poached pear and citrus peel, followed by a fresh, precise palate with mineral notes and a delicate, silky feel.

Art Nouveau heritage and food pairing

The distinctive bottle displays the Japanese anemones designed in 1902 by Émile Gallé, one of the leading artists of Art Nouveau. Serve this Champagne at 8–10°C as an aperitif, or at approximately 12°C with a meal. Perrier-Jouët suggests sea bass, sole, lobster, quail and ceps among its food pairings.

Critical recognition for this vintage

Wine Enthusiast awarded Belle Epoque Brut 2016 94/100 in a review published in 2026. For anyone choosing a prestige vintage Champagne, it offers a compelling combination of floral precision, fine texture and the creative legacy of a historic Champagne House.
