Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut Champagne

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.

Today the Champagne house is known for its stylish, floral style. A blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut is vibrant and deliciously crisp. Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut is a melting pot of aromas and flavours – a wonderfully rounded, generous champagne whose joie de vivre makes every moment more special.

“I describe Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut as a chameleon cuvée,” says Séverine Frerson. “It has the substance and the personality to adapt to any situation, from an aperitif to a main course of white meat or fish in a creamy sauce.” 

Tasting Notes:

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.

Food Pairing: Works beautifully with food, particularly white meat or fish dishes.
