Champagne Brut Aoc Belle Epoque 2014 - Perrier Jouet

Description

A centuries- old tradition that of the French winery Perrier Jouet , founded in 1811 and which over the years has seen only 7 chefs de cave follow one another, custodians of the maison's taste.

The "Belle Epoque" is the Champagne symbol of this winery, a Millesimato of good intensity, lively freshness and extreme elegance , aged on the lees in the bottle for at least 60 months.

This wine comes from a blend composed of 50% Chardonnay , 45% Pinot Noir and the remaining 5% Pinot Meunier , in short, the most suitable crus of Champagne participate in the composition of this jewel that explodes in the glass with perlage consistent but very fine, and a delicate foam .

Multiform and rhythmic complexity , made of mineral lashes, citrus pulp and sweeter nuances that recall acacia honey or French boulangerie, it lines the palate by virtue of a creamy and perfectly balanced tactility, giving a wide and satisfying drink and fades on the trail of a refined minerality , where it is the sapidity that lengthens the memory.

Territory

The Champagne wine region is what is called the "vineyard of hills" : the vines are mostly planted on the slopes of the hills.

The sides of the coteaux offer each vine optimal sun exposure , allowing rainwater to drain away, thus facilitating water drainage.

Soil

The composition of the soil is mainly made up of limestone, chalk and marl .

Gypsum has the property of retaining water by capillary action and its high porosity is a reservoir of water which gives the plant an adequate supply even during the driest summers.
