100% Chardonnay. This full-bodied Grand Cru Champagne is round and complex with fine flavors of hazelnut, citrus and toast. Pure delicacy. Long, lingering finish. Impressive!

96 points Connoisseurs' Guide: "And then there is this remarkable wine, whose depth, richness, vitality and precise character move it to the head of the class. A few privileged tasters will point out offerings at twice its price as proof that there is more yet to be had in Champagnes, but those wines, while spectacular, are no more drinkable or polished. For here, in a dramatic yet balanced presentation, is a serious wine that layers complex yeast, brioche and wheat toast notes on top of deep, lemony, chalky, creamy, lightly vanillin bits. Its finish is extraordinarily long, and it conveys an impression of impeccable crafting from beginning to end. (Dec 2012)"
94 points Wine Enthusiast: "This shimmers with its flavors of apple and lime, its hint of toast and its soft finish. It's finely balanced, a great selection that is ready to drink now. Alcohol 12.5%. (Dec 2012)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "Elegant, with lovely texture and focused, lively acidity. Flavors of currant, candied lemon zest, honey and white peach lead to the creamy, biscuit-tinged finish. Drink now through 2019. (11/30/11)"
89 points (93 potential) Richard Juhlin: "(50% Chardonnay, 46% Pinot Noir and 4% Pinot Meunier). (Sep 2011)"
Producer notes: "'The Cuvée Belle Epoque 2004 is like a freshly-cut diamond' says Hervé Deschamps. It is the perfect expression of the richness of Perrier-Jouët's exceptional vineyard. All the lightness of white floral notes: hawthorn blossom, linden blossom and white clover. A fresh, stylish wine with good structure, silky and elegant, based on teh mineral notes of the best Chardonnay Grand Crus. The floral, fruity notes give way to subtle spicy hints for a pleasant finish on the palate. The best moment: pre-dinner drinks. During a meal, this wine pairs well with seafood, fish and white meat. After seven years' ageing at Perrier-Jouët, this vintage can be stored for over ten more in your cellar."

95 points The Tasting Panel: "Luscious and vivid with tangy, bright fruit and great depth; stunning and complex with balance and vibrancy; great now but a candidate for further aging. (Jan 2013)"
