BELLE ÉPOQUE BRUT COCOON
Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque is characterised by harmony. Harmony in the blend, of course, which combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in almost equal proportions, but also harmony over time.

the palateNotes of juicy vine peach lend a fine texture, complemented by poached pear and rhubarb.
The structure of this cuvée recalls the grace of the Carnation, an emblematic motif of Art Nouveau. Its notes evoke the delicacy of this flower.SÉVERINE FRERSON
Inspired by Nature
Made from paper pulp and vine cuttings*, Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Cocoon was designed to enhance the bottle, and offer an organic and naturel feel. Incredibly lightweight and streamlined in style, it was made using as few resources as possible.
* Approximately 5% of vine cuttings
Heritage
Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque is the original Belle Époque vintage cuvée, first appearing in 1964. Instantly recognisable throughout the world, its bottle is adorned with the graceful spray of Japanese white anemones created for Maison Perrier-Jouët by Art Nouveau master Emile Gallé in 1902.
The moment
This prestigious cuvée pairs naturally with noble ingredients: king prawns with creamy polenta, sole meunière, Parmesan or Comté cheese.
