Perrier-Jouet Belle Epoque Brut 2014

Parker: A blend of 50% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Meunier with a dosage of eight grams per liter, the 2014 Brut Belle Époque is turning out well today, evoking aromas of white peach, pear, spring flowers, almonds flowers and lemon oil. Medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, it’s fresh and charming with a delicately tense mid-palate and a saline, mineral finish. Long and penetrating, this is an excellent rendition of this cuvée. Parker 93+/100

Suckling: Complex nose of apricot stones, almonds, dried lemons, beeswax, chamomile and dried mushrooms. Sharp, structured and refined, with a medium to full body and very fine bubbles. Delicious savory, chalky elements with a mineral finish. Drink or hold. Suckling 94/100
