Belle Epoque is the Tete de Cuvee of which Champagne house?

• A. Dom Pérignon
• B. Krug
• C. Perrier-Jouet
• D. Veuve Clicquot

Answer: (C)

Belle Époque is the flagship prestige cuvée of Perrier‑Jouët. In Champagne houses, the tête de cuvée represents the top, typically most refined wine that embodies the house’s style and is often released in limited quantities. Perrier‑Jouët is famed for elegant, floral Champagnes, and Belle Époque demonstrates that character with a graceful, Chardonnay‑influenced blend and silky persistence. The wine is also instantly recognizable by its label, featuring hand‑painted anemones, a symbol tied to the house’s Art Nouveau heritage and its refined image. While other houses have their own prestige cuvées—such as Dom Pérignon at Moët & Chandon, Krug’s Grande Cuvée, or Veuve Clicquot’s La Grande Dame—the one associated with Belle Époque is Perrier‑Jouët.
