Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut Champagne (NV)

375mL / Champagne / France

Category: Wine
Sub-Category: Sparkling

Silvery gold in the glass. A vibrant and stylish cuvée with floral aromas, rounded out by fresh fruit and hints of buttery brioche and vanilla. The palate is crisp and light, it combines freshness with a lingeringly rich and generous finish.

"A pleasant mid-weight Champagne that shows lovely complexity. Suggestions of smoke, roasted nuts and light honey add character to a generous core of ripe yellow fruit. The wine offers excellent overall balance and a poised finish."
Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate)

Heritage:

The ancestry of Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut can be traced back to 1846, when Maison Perrier-Jouët launched its historic Cuvée K, the world’s first lightly dosed champagne in the style today known as “brut”. 

Cuvée K was dosed at a sugar level of less than 5% – daringly little for an era when champagnes regularly contained up to 40%.  Maison Perrier-Jouët became renowned for its brut champagnes, which it was able to produce owing to the fact that its high quality grapes required very little added sugar – a philosophy maintained to this day.
