Perrier Jouet Champagne Tasting

Perrier Jouet Grand Brut NV HK$499
-> very nice, easy to drink, smooth and fine bubble, not much nose.

Perrier Jouet Grand Brut vintage 1998 HK$???
-> more structure and bitter aftertaste

Perrier Jouet Blason Rose NV HK???
-> ok but not great, slightly better than Moet and VCP rose, not as good as billecart salmom NV rose

Perrier Jouet Belle Epo 1998 HK$1598
-> nice and better than dom perignon 1998 but more expensive, one of the flagships of Perrier Jouet, knowned as fleur de champagne, very beautiful bottle.

Perrier Jouet Belle Epo Rose 1999 HK$2650
-> Rose version of Belle Epo, better than PJ NV rose but really expensive, low QPR.

All of the champagne showed very fine and nice bubble, good acidity and easy going character (except two roses had bitter aftertaste). I like the champagne glasses and asked the merchant whether I can buy some, the answer is No. If I really want to get some, they said that I can go to watsons and spend HK$1598 to get one bottle of Belle Epo and will have 2 complementary glasses.

關於Perrier-Jouët新聞稿

創立於1811年的Perrier-Jouët源自一段良緣，乃Pierre-Nicholas-Marie Perrier與Adele Jouët婚姻的結晶品，其前身是一間位於法國香檳之都Epernay的貿易公司。Belle Epoque是Perrier-Jouët只於獨特年份推出的極品佳釀。

以單一酒糟年份佳釀來說，1998年的葡萄在收割時已近乎完美，品質可媲美傳奇年份如1982、1990及1996年。酒莊出產的著名Belle Epoque 1969記年香檳，被譽為二十世紀最尊貴年份佳釀之一。

新推出的Belle Epoque 1998迅即與世界其他頂級香檳一道，躋身要求極之嚴格的高級頂級香檳之列。

Perrier-Jouët坐擁香檳區多個頂級葡萄園，其中位於卡蒙的白丘葡萄園更是其中表表者，獲評為100%特級葡萄園。
Belle Epoque在美國尤其知名，並以「香檳之花」之名暢銷全國。

在香港，Perrier-Jouët現已正式成為drop常備香檳。
