Winemaking and ageing
The manually harvested grapes are subject to alcoholic fermentation in thermoregulated, stainless steel vats, followed by malolactic fermentation. This cuvée, which dosage is 8 to 11g/litre depending on the year, enjoys an ageing process that is greater than two times the appellation criteria.
 
Blend
This Grand Brut by Perrier-Jouët is a careful blend of reserve wines, looked after with particular care by the cellar master to produce a champagne with character each year. This cuvée is made of a blend of 20% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 40% Pinot Meunier.
 
Tasting
Colour
The wine is a beautiful golden colour.
 
Nose
The Grand Brut cuvée by Perrier-Jouët offers a beautiful aromatic finesse imbued with subtility and delicacy. Notes of white flowers (orchard flowers, linden, honeysuckle), fresh fruits (lemon, peach) and yellow fruits (apricot, mango) which give way to a pleasant development towards hints of butter, brioche and vanilla.
 
Palate
On the palate, the attack is direct. The champagne has structure, balance, roundness and a light vinosity. A fresh wine which finds its balance in its complexity.
 
Food and wine pairings
This Grand Brut by Perrier-Jouët goes perfectly with fish in carpaccio, white meats and even vegetables anywhere between half-cooked and half-raw, served, for example, with stir-fried tofu.
