Opens with young, powerful aromas of freshly baked bread crust, mushroom and lime, and then blasts onto the palate. The bold green apple flavors are intense, and wrapped in lively acids that make this Champagne crisp and agreeable now, as well as eminently ageable.

Are delicate and full-bodied contradictions? Not here, with this ripe, red-fruit-flavored wine, which still creeps delicately around the palate. From its just pink color to its soft, yet still crisp aftertaste, this is a well-balanced wine, which could probably age well for 2–3 years.

Delicate salmon pink in color, this light, fresh rosé shines with its fresh red berry flavors, a delicate style initially, then opening to give raspberry and crisp red apples. Light enough for apéritif, but it will also work with food.

This is a nonvintage with bottle age, giving richness along with toast. The primary fruits are melting into a full, almond and yeast wine that fills the mouth with its concentration and citrus hints. This is a style for those who like rich but dry Champagne.

The familiar Belle Epoque bottle, based on the design of Emile Gallé, is accented in pink for this mature, balanced rosé, with a layer of crisp raspberry fruits and rich, elegant acidity. Aromas of caramel and strawberries are matched with honey and yeast.

This is what you expect a prestige Champagne to look, smell and taste like. Poised and stylish, it layers sharp citrus fruit with spicy wood and light toast. Layers of citrus, tangerine and flower blossoms unfold elegantly; lime and grapefruit accents add interest, and above all it comports itself with impeccable balance, precision and grace.

Ripe, full, and just hinting at maturity, this remains P-J’s flagship Champagne. It’s poised, elegant and fresh, with signs of nuttiness. A vibrant, joyful wine, it continues to live up to its exuberant bottle.

A grand bottle of pink Champagne, round and luscious. The flavors come on like a cherry cordial, with exceptional Pinot Noir character and finesse. It is a seductive, elegant and textured wine that shows a level of detail and length that only the finest examples achieve. Subtle but very rewarding.

This creamy wine has a distinct mature and toasty character to balance the crisp white fruits and lively acidity. It is on the sweeter end of Brut, which adds richness to this attractive nonvintage.

A nutty aroma follows through to the mature palate of this distinguished Blanc de Blancs. It has a good element of acidity, toast and spice and an intense pear and mineral aftertaste.
