50% Chardonnay, 46% Pinot Noir, 4% Pinot Meunier. Dark straw. Much, much more evolved on the nose than the others. Open texture without the real density of the best 2002s. A little sweet and soft. Medium weight. Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2009-2015 28 November 2012 |

Belle Epoque is a striking Champagne endowed with considerable power and richness in its exuberant fruit. The wine blossoms on the plate with tons of richness and a broad, expansive voice to the fruit that is quite beautiful. A long, creamy finish layered with tropical fruit rounds things out nicely. This is easily one of the most memorable Champagnes I have tasted from Perrier-Jouet in some time. Score: 91 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2013-2022 01 December 2011 |

Light, bright yellow. Leesy pear and nectarine aromas, with notes of lemon rind, jasmine and smoky herbs adding complexity. Bright and precise on entry, then fleshier in the mid-palate, offering musky orchard fruit and citrus flavors and mounting spiciness. Packs a solid punch on the long, clinging finish, which strongly echoes the smoke and floral notes. Score: 92 Josh Raynolds, International Wine Cellar 01 October 2011 |

Hints of burnt sugar and toffee accent this bright Champagne, along with notes of apple pie, bread dough, cream and candied lemon peel. There's a fine balance between the wine's finesse and its lively character, with a long, smoke-tinged finish. Better than previously reviewed. Drink now through 2024.
