Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut is a distinguished non-vintage Champagne from the esteemed Perrier-Jouët house, renowned for its elegance and floral finesse. This cuvée is a harmonious blend of approximately 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier, and 20% Chardonnay grapes, sourced from premier vineyards in the Champagne region of France.
In the glass, it displays a pale and sparkling yellow robe, suggestive of vivacity. The nose is delicate, elegant, and balanced, with striking freshness and vivacity of floral and fruity fragrances. Notes of cherry plum, lemon, and bergamot orange emerge first, then make way for the flowers of fruit trees, such as lime and honeysuckle. These are followed by notes of butter, madeleine cakes, and vanilla sugar. Lingering notes of grapefruit, white peaches, green pears, apple trees, and green hazelnuts round off the taste.
On the palate, ampleness and vivacity balance out in the mouth, developing into a flavor of round and vinous elegance. A fresh, balanced Champagne with a long finish.
With an alcohol content of 12%, this Champagne pairs wonderfully with dishes such as carpaccio of fish or white meats. Its lively vivacity works well with crisp vegetables and tofu.
Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut exemplifies the house's signature style, offering a refined and harmonious Champagne experience suitable for various occasions.
