Perrier Jouet Grand Brut Champagne

What is Perrier Jouet Grand Brut Champagne?

Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut Champagne is a delightful blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes, offering a crisp, floral bouquet with hints of citrus and vanilla. Interestingly, the house of Perrier-Jouët was the first to release a bone-dry champagne in 1854, called "Brut," which revolutionized the industry and set the standard for modern champagne styles we enjoy today.

Why do we love Perrier Jouet Grand Brut Champagne?

Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut Champagne for its exceptional versatility in mixed drinks, offering a delicate balance of floral and fruity notes that elevate classic champagne cocktails like the French 75 or Kir Royale. What sets this champagne apart is its distinctive house style, featuring a higher proportion of Chardonnay grapes (20%) compared to many other non-vintage bruts, resulting in a lighter, more elegant profile that harmonizes beautifully with a wide range of spirits and modifiers.

How do you drink Perrier Jouet Grand Brut Champagne?

Perrier Jouet Grand Brut Champagne shines brightest when served chilled in a flute, allowing its effervescence and delicate aromas to captivate the senses. This versatile bubbly is equally delightful sipped on its own during warm summer evenings or as a base for sparkling cocktails year-round, and it pairs wonderfully with light appetizers, seafood, or creamy desserts.

Nose: Fresh and lively with pronounced citrus notes. Lemon zest and green apple dominate, backed by subtle hints of white flowers and brioche. A whisper of minerality adds complexity.

Palate: Crisp and well-balanced. Flavors of ripe pear and golden apple mingle with lemon curd and a touch of honey. Fine, persistent bubbles create a creamy texture. Underlying notes of toasted almonds and fresh bread provide depth.

Finish: Clean and refreshing with lingering citrus and mineral notes. A slight chalky dryness appears, typical of the Champagne region. The finish is medium in length, leaving a pleasant, mouth-watering sensation that invites another sip.

Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut Champagne is crafted using the traditional méthode champenoise, with a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes from top vineyards in Champagne. What sets it apart is the house's signature use of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, which lends the wine its characteristic freshness and elegance, and the extended aging on lees for a minimum of three years, resulting in a refined, complex flavor profile.

  • Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut's signature blend includes an unusually high percentage of Chardonnay grapes (20%) for a non-vintage champagne, giving it a distinct floral character that sets it apart from other entry-level champagnes.
  • The champagne house's cellars contain a collection of rare vintage champagnes dating back to 1825, including the oldest known champagne in the world that's still drinkable - an 1825 vintage that was tasted and deemed excellent as recently as 2009.
  • Perrier-Jouët's famous Art Nouveau bottle design, featuring Japanese anemones, was created in just one afternoon in 1902 by artist Emile Gallé. The design was forgotten for decades before being rediscovered in the 1960s and becoming an iconic symbol of the brand.
  • Main Ingredient: Chardonnay grapes
