Perrier-Jouët Brut Rosé Fleur de Champagne Belle Epoque 2012

94 points Wine Spectator: “Smoky notes of toasted brioche play off of minerally accents of oyster shell and wet chalk on the nose and palate of this rich rosé Champagne. Meshed with a spine of lively acidity and a juicy profile of nectarine, raspberry and Mandarin orange fruit flavors, this is long and creamy on the well-spiced finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Drink now through 2032. (9/1/21)”

Producer notes: “Delicate in appearance yet extravagant in taste, Perrier-Jouet Belle Epoque Rose unleashes fragrant aromas of pink flowers and wild strawberries. Lively and fresh on the palate, with a long, lingering finish, its complex gourmet flavors make it an unusually versatile champagne which lends itself to daring food pairings, both sweet and savory.”
