Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Rosé 1986 is a vintage prestige-cuvée Champagne, crafted from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, incorporating a small amount of still red Pinot Noir. Perrier-Jouët is known for its elegant, floral style of Champagne, with Chardonnay dominating the blend. The 1986 vintage in Champagne was challenging but produced complex, structured wines. This mature rosé displays a developed, subtle colour and a rich, tertiary aromatic profile of dried flowers, toasted nuts, kirsch and ginger spice. The palate is dry and complex, showcasing a fine mousse and a remarkable structural tension.
