Perle Rare unveils its 2014 vintage, combining power and finesse

Among Louis Bouillot’s three vintage sparkling wines, Perle Rare is no doubt the most sophisticated. Made exclusively in exceptional years, the release of the 2014 vintage is highly anticipated, after the elegant and rich 2012.

A blend of the four classic Burgundy varietals – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Aligoté – Perle Rare 2014 is first and foremost a wine of great finesse. Its golden color catches the eye, before complex aromas of fresh lime blossom 
and honeysuckle delight the nose. This then gives way to subtle notes of bread and honey, all part of the olfactory journey offered by this new vintage. In the mouth, Perle Rare 2014 reveals its power. Delicious citrus notes and orchard fruits such as white peach and apricot make this cuvée a Crémant de Bourgogne all about pleasure, with a perfect balance between acidity and sweetness, delicacy and personality. 

The latest Perle Rare vintage promises good keeping potential. The wine will bear the mention “Eminent”, the new classification for sparkling Burgundy indicating bottle ageing of at least 24 months.
