The Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut cuvee is the perfect introduction to the House style.- Herve Deschamps, Cellar MarterWINE COMPOSITION A blend of fifty different Crus, Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut expresses the quality and diversity of the House winemaking tradition. Its assemblage creates a balance between the consistency of the Perrier-Jouet style and the effects of the climate of the year. With 12 to 20% of reserve wines added, Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut is dominated by the elegance and finesse of the Chardonnay 20% from the best vineyards in the Cote des Blancs. The delicate structure is brought by the Pinot Noir 40% primarily sourced from the Montagne de Reims and the Vallee de la Marne, but also from the best Crus in the Aube region such as Les Riceys. Pinot Meunier 40% from the Vallee de la Marne brings harmony, fruit and roundness to the wine.FERMENTATIONTemperatureregulated stainless steel fermentersFull malolacticDOSAGE 8 to 11 grams per litrer added according to the year.CELLAR AGEING More than twice the time required by the appellation.A HARMONIOUS WINE, ELEGANT, WITH A DELICATE COMPLEXITY APPEARANCE A pale and sparkling yellow robe, suggestive of vivacity.NOSE The Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut is delicate, elegant and balanced.
