Serve at around 10 degrees in a white wine glass rather than a flute, so the aromas open up. Grilled prawns and seared tuna suit its delicate red fruit, as does a simple plate of good charcuterie.
- 2014 vintage rosé Champagne, supplied in a gift box
- Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier
- Anemone bottle design by Émile Gallé, 1902
The 2014 shows fine bubbles and an aromatic mix of rose petals and small red fruits with delicate pastry hints. The palate leans towards finesse and elegance rather than weight, with a long, fresh finish.
In 1902 the Art Nouveau glass artist Émile Gallé delivered four magnums enamelled with a spray of white Japanese anemones, and that design later became the emblem of the Belle Epoque cuvée and of the house. The cuvée name itself refers to that Art Nouveau period, and the flower-painted bottle remains the main visual signature of the wine today.
Perrier-Jouët was founded in 1811 by Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Rose-Adélaïde Jouët, a couple who split the work between the vineyards, the cellar and sales. Shipments to Britain began in 1815 and to the United States in 1837. A bottle from its 1825 vintage, one of the oldest Champagnes known, was opened and tasted in 2009. Current cellar master Séverine Frerson has held the post since 2020, the eighth to do so and the first woman.
A considered gift for someone who enjoys rosé Champagne and the Art Nouveau story behind the bottle.
