An ideal introduction to the floral, stylish and diamond-cut style of the House of Perrier-Jouet. The colour is pale and sparkling yellow robe, suggestive of vivacity. The Grand Brut’s aroma is delicate and balanced. The striking freshness and vivacity of the floral and fruity fragrances (yellow fruits and fresh fruits) take root, before giving way to subtle notes of vanilla and butter, lending the wine a fruity and consistent character.
The 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.
Ampleness and vivacity balance out in the mouth, developing into a flavour of round and vinous elegance. A fresh, balanced champagne with a long finish. Its flavours are well revealed between seven and nine degrees. The dosage is 10 g/L, 12 to 14 percent of the reserve wines (wines from two or three previous years).
The House of Perrier-Jouet, with its prestigious vineyards and purest of champagne – making traditions, is recognised for the finesse of its wines – the result of a distinct heritage safe-guarded by just seven cellar-masters since 1811. Contains sulphur dioxide/sulphites.
