Tasting Notes
Perrier Jouet Grand Brut NV
The ancestry of Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut can be traced back to 1846, when Maison Perrier-Jouët launched its historic Cuvée K, the world’s first lightly dosed champagne in the style today known as “brut”.
Cuvée K was dosed at a sugar level of less than 5% – daringly little for an era when champagnes regularly contained up to 40%. Maison Perrier-Jouët became renowned for its brut champagnes, which it was able to produce owing to the fact that its high quality grapes required very little added sugar – a philosophy maintained to this day.
The Eye : Silvery gold in the glass. A vibrant and stylish cuvée.
The Nose : Floral aromas, rounded out by fresh fruit and hints of buttery brioche and vanilla.
The Palate : Crisp and light, it combines freshness with a lingeringly rich and generous finish.
