Item Description
1971 Perrier-Jouet Fleur de France Champagne - Magnum. Epernay, France
Item Special Note
The straight Belle Epoque is a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Meunier. The strength of this prestige cuvée is finesse and elegance rather than power or fruit, so for this reason inexperienced critics have been known to discount Belle Epoque, having been underwhelmed on first tasting. Some have even accused Perrier-Jouët of putting more effort in to the design of the bottle than the wine that goes into it. These critics have laid bare their lack of understanding of a wine that possesses impeccable balance, something far more valuable than powerful fruit. With appropriate bottle age these wines reveal their true class, the high quality origins of the fruit from some of the best sources in the region.
