Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs is a free spirit – vibrant, dynamic, independent. Bright and fresh as the morning dew, it is the perfect champagne to serve as an aperitif, to celebrate the first day of spring.

Pale gold with hints of green, delightfully lively, luminous champagne.
The nose
Aromas of hedgerow flowers – elderberry, acacia and honeysuckle – and tangy citrus.
The palate
Lingering freshness with a surprisingly smooth, mellow finish.
Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs reminds me of velvet – not a heavy velvet, but one with a silky texture. That’s because, although it is a very vivacious, dynamic cuvée, it also has substance and density – and, of course, great elegance.

HERITAGE
The arrival of Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs in 2017 completed the classic collection with a single-grape cuvée destined to become the enduring expression of Maison.
Perrier-Jouët’s savoir-faire in revealing the quintessence of Chardonnay. In fact, it perpetuates a tradition dating back around a hundred years: the House introduced its first all Chardonnay cuvées in the 1920s, long before such champagnes became known as “Blanc de Blancs”.
THE MOMENT
Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs is ideal as an aperitif – a wine that instantly creates good vibes. It is equally delightful when paired with a carpaccio of seabass.
Charming and expressive, bursting from the glass with aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, pear, white flowers and subtle hints of buttered toast. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and fine-boned, its pretty core of fruit is girdled by succulent acids, concluding with a delicately chalky finish.
