Champagne Grand Brut by Perrier-Jouët is an elegant and harmonious cuvée, an expression of the floral and refined style of the Maison. The blend consists of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier, and 20% Chardonnay, selected from over fifty crus of Champagne. The vinification takes place using the méthode champenoise, with careful pressing of the grapes and fermentation at controlled temperature. This is followed by a maturation period of about 36 months on the lees, which imparts creaminess and aromatic complexity. On the nose, it opens with notes of white flowers, citrus, yellow-fleshed fruit, and a hint of toasting, while on the palate it is balanced, fresh, and persistent, with a fine and lively perlage. A Grand Brut versatile and sophisticated, perfect for aperitif or paired with delicate fish dishes, shellfish, or white meats. A perfect synthesis of the Perrier-Jouët style.
