Description
Perrier-Jout was founded in 1811 by Nicolas Perrier and Adle Jout. However, the main star of their estate, located in pernay, has always been chardonnay. 99.2% of the 65 hectares of vineyards are of the Grand Cru denomination, including sites in the Cte des Blancs – Cramant and Avize. This cuve is inspired by the historic Blason de France Brut (1955-1990), Perrier-Jouts first prestige bottling, which was made in partnership with Relais & Chateau, and offered only in the finest restaurants worldwide. Perrier-Jout Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs was first introduced in 1998 by Cellar Master Herv Deschamps to celebrate the upcoming new Millenium. The first vintage released was the 1993. The grapes for this wine are harvested from two iconic vineyard sites, the Bourbons-Leroy and the Boutons-de-Midi. The vineyards have a south/southeast exposure, which are ideal ripening conditions, giving the wine its unmistakable terroir.This is a 2006 vintage expression.
