Then in 1848 their son Charles Perrier, along with a Henri Gallice and his younger brother Octave became Perrier-Jou\u00ebt directors. Octave, an art lover, met Emile Gall\u00e9 in Paris and requested a design for Perrier-Jou\u00ebt, which became the iconic emblem of the brand. Perrier-Jou\u00ebt one of the most respected and iconic Champagne brands in the world, has always had an affinity with the Art Nouveau movement and this was expressed through the emblematic anemone motif illustrated by Emile Gall\u00e9 in 1902. Today, the House continues to exude luxury by collaborating with artists to create extravagant memories. Along with their unique legacy, such as the creation of their first \u2018Brut\u2019 Champagne in 1842 and the iconic floral cuv\u00e9e named \u2018Belle \u00c9poque\u2019. Perrier-Jou\u00ebt also made history with the appointment of S\u00e9verine Frerson the first woman to hold the position of cellar master in 2020.<br \/>\nPerrier-Jou\u00ebt \u2018Belle \u00c9poque\u2019 Champagne is a sophisticated vintage cuv\u00e9e that has captivated Champagne enthusiasts since its first release in 1964. With its instantly recognizable bottle adorned with the elegant Japanese white anemones. This artwork created by Emile Gall\u00e9  has become an iconic symbol of Perrier-Jou\u00ebt. The intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship of the bottle reflect the dedication and passion that goes into creating this iconic Champagne.<br \/>\nThe Chardonnay for this cuv\u00e9e comes from the Cramant and Avize Grands Crus, providing a natural delicacy and minerality to the wine and the Pinot Noir from Montagne Reims Grand Cru giving structure. This wine was aged on lees for 6 years, before disgorgement and given a dosage of 8g\/L.<br \/>\nThis 2014 Vintage comes in a Limited Edition 120th Anniversary Gift Box &#8211; &#8216;The Emblematic Flower&#8217; designed by Austrian duo Katharina Mischer and Thomas Traxler &#8211; \u2018mischer&#8217;traxler\u2019. \n<strong>\u2605 <\/strong>As you pour, you are hypnotized by aromas of preserved lemons, elderflower, white peaches and a defined almond biscotti note.
