Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque 2006 (Methuselah 6 L)

Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque 2006 in Methuselah 6-litre format embodies one of the most iconic expressions of prestige Champagne. Presented in a spectacular celebration format and accompanied by its original wooden case, this exceptional bottle combines floral refinement, vintage maturity and rarity of presentation.

Presentation

Belle Époque is the iconic cuvée of Perrier-Jouët, the Champagne house founded in Épernay in 1811. Instantly recognisable thanks to its white anemone motif inspired by Art Nouveau, it has long represented an elegant, floral and delicate vision of vintage Champagne.

The 2006 vintage reflects a generous and sun-kissed style, offering a ripe, ample and harmonious expression. Made predominantly from Chardonnay, complemented by Pinot Noir and a small proportion of Pinot Meunier, this cuvée seeks a refined balance between freshness, aromatic finesse and depth.

The Methuselah 6 L format, equivalent to eight standard 75 cl bottles, brings a rare and prestigious dimension to this cuvée. Evolving more slowly than a classic bottle, it also offers a striking visual presence, making it particularly suited to major celebrations, exceptional gifts and fine wine collections.

Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque 2006 Methuselah 6 L is intended for lovers of great Champagne houses, collectors and enthusiasts looking for a rare, visually remarkable bottle perfectly suited to exceptional occasions.

Tasting notes

Nose:
Refined and expressive bouquet, marked by white flowers, hawthorn, ripe pear, yellow peach, candied citrus and delicate honeyed nuances. With the evolution of the vintage, notes of brioche, dried fruits and gentle spices also emerge.

Palate:
Broad, silky and elegant attack. The palate reveals beautiful maturity, carried by a creamy texture, generous fruit and freshness that remains present. The wine retains the airy, floral style of Belle Époque, with added depth from age and the large format.

Finish:
Long, harmonious and delicately evolved, carried by yellow fruits, dried flowers, fine pastry notes and a discreet mineral touch. A prestige Champagne that is mature, elegant and ceremonial.
