Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut reminds me of suede or nubuck leather – it has a texture that is soft and supple, yet dense and structured. It is a wine constructed on very firm foundations.

A pleasant, mid-weight Champagne that shows lovely complexity. Suggestions of smoke, roasted nuts and light honey add character to a generous core of ripe yellow fruit. The wine offers excellent overall balance and a poised finish.

Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut 

The House’s emblematic cuvée, Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut is rich and well-balanced with floral notes of Chardonnay, elegantly complemented by two other grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Meunier. The result of the meticulous blending of around fifty different crus, this well-structured champagne goes perfectly with numerous dishes from the apéritif to the main course. 
This pioneering cuvée was created in 1846 under the name “Cuvée K” to meet the latest consumer tastes, particularly the English. Thanks to the excellent quality of its grapes, Maison Perrier-Jouët used very little added sugar, a philosophy which its brut champagnes are now famous for. For Cellar Master Séverine Frerson, “Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut is synonymous with the very essence of Maison Perrier-Jouët. It is the direct successor of the first cuvée blended by Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and his son, Charles.”
