Firm and focused, with a fine, lacy mousse, this well-knit Champagne layers a streak of smoke-laced minerality and lemony acidity with flavors of poached apricot, glazed tangerine and toasted brioche. Floral and spice notes play on the finish. Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay. Drink now.

Winemaker Notes

The Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut is delicate, elegant 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.

Silvery gold in the glass. A vibrant and stylish cuvée. The nose has 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.

Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut can be matched with dishes such as carpaccio of fish or white meats. Its lively vivacity works well with crisp vegetables and tofu.

Winery Notes

Perrier-Jouët was founded in 1811 in Epernay by Pierre-Nicolas-Marie Perrier and his wife, Adele Jouët. One of the most prestigious houses in Champagne, the firm was shipping wine to Great Britain by 1813 and to the United States by 1837. Perrier-Jouët owns 266 acres of vineyards in Champagne, with an average rating of 95%, and is known worldwide for its consistency of style.

By the end of the 19th Century, its Brut cuvées earned the reputation of nobility and prestige that continues today. Perrier Jouët's glamorous "Cuvée Belle Epoque", known in the United States as Fleur de Champagne, was launched in 1969 and has become the most important cuvée de prestige to appear after World War II. The bottle is adorned with enamel-painted anenomes originally created by Emile Gallé in 1900, but the wine is as famous for its taste as it is for its beautiful packaging.
